Yeah but the unibody is sexy... and the smaller size is nice and it's $300 cheaper. *sigh* the 8600 is a crappy card, and all I will really play on my laptop is Civ 4,SC4 and L4D so... I dunno... argh./
Got a tip for us?
Let us know

oh well if thats wat you're going to mostly play then go for the unibody, i got one and its great
I say go for the unibody
It's cheaper - which in a way could mean it can be less time before you get a new one (if you need it) when they are war more awesome
Hey all, just got a Macbook Air and i'd like to have a blast on Command & Conquer, it seems the problem with mac gaming is there's no definitive way of knowing if something will work or not, older games require patches to run on Intel, even older ones will run fine under Rosetta. Newer ones should work, but most haven't been written with the 9400 in mind..
Which gave me a thought...
Would a simple website with a list of all games and a guide to what systems they would work on be worth while? Say you enter model of your machine and then can see which games should work and what patches are available?
It's the sort of nice little application I could probably knock out in my spare time, most of the content would need to be user generated.
Good idea? Lousy idea?

You guys... tempting me to spend my tax money early...
Yeah I am pretty sure I will just get the unibody. I have a gaming PC/PS3/360/Wii/etc. to play serious games on, just needs my L4D and Civ 4 *hugs Civ box*Thats actually a good idea. Problem is, you need people to use a standard rubric to see how well games work. The "it looks fine" isn't super helpful because to me, sub-30fps or wild spikes (ie. 25 to 60 to 12) ain't "good". When I get one, I'd be willing to FRAPS it up for people and share
