Dear APPLE, please make a MBP for gaming.

Small market for that no? I mean of course games are HUGE. But consoles I mean. Until the drivers for Macs get better, it's not going to happen.
You may get better response to your thread with this tip.
By the way, you do know we have a whole sub-forum dedicated to gaming on the Mac, right?

Ya, but i'm talking about a MBP for gaming, not about the games for it.Thanks for the advice though.
Why would you want any Apple machine for high-end gaming? What a joke. Get a console or build a gaming PC.
If I want a gaming rig, I'll build myself a PC for half as much, maybe even hackintosh it. Seems like a better solution, as the market is very small.
well, it's an understandable wish - not going to happen, probably, but still understandable
What about boot camp or vmware, dont they run windows(which means you can play pc games on a mac)
Dear APPLE: Please, for the love of the Mac, never, ever, ever make a MBP for gaming.
1) Not enough market for this product
2) All Gaming Laptops are ugly due to the cooling requirements. The MacBook Pro is far too sleek to fit an ugly load of gaming junk in it
3) Nobody will buy it just to run windows on it. Its a Mac, thus its meant for OS X. Not just as a standard PC. If you want one for that go ahead, but Apple should never devalue its OS by offering a machine meant to run Windows.
I think everything is correct except for #1... plus, I would say that as Mac's become more popular, gaming will become more important.
This started happening when Apple finally released the more powerful CPUs and GPUs.

Instead of making a MacBook Pro for gaming I suggest that Apple simply updates their graphics drivers. That's all that's really needed.
Buy a console...far more cost effective. I never understood the love for PC gaming...i mean i get it but i just think...why? You're gonna be stuck in an endless upgrade cycle and you'll never REALLY be able to play all games unconditionally unless you remain agile in that cycle which is expensive and then there's being held to ransom by drivers/OS support etc
Finally notebooks/portable computers are arguably the worst candidates for gaming, combining the two concepts is borderline illogical. Most decent gaming laptops are in actuality workstations/desktop replacements...so why not just get the desktop and be done with it.

Most of those games lack depth
Anyways, the current MBPs game extremely well
Just don't try to run everything on max
I run Dragon Age II on my Mac with all settings on high and AA x4 and it plays beautifully. I play GTA SA on bootcamp and that, too, plays very well on all high settings although redwoods seem to make it lag briefly, which is odd...
but hey ho, it's still a great gaming machine
Get a console like the Xbox 360. About the only type of game it isn't good for is RPG/Strategy, and for that there are PCs.
