Mac or Microsoft?

[Eactiver]

I am currently looking for a laptop which will be able to handle C++ programming, in the UDK engine, gaming with games such as Starcraft 2(preferably on high graphics), as well as djing.
So pretty much a versatile computer.
I've never used a Mac before, and am worried that it will not be able to run the same video games which a Pc would be able to.
the Macbook I have in mind is a MacBook pro 15", without retina.

Well considering that machine can run Windows just fine, I don't think you have much to worry about.

Try reading up on Boot Camp.

The MacBook Pro you are talking about offers comparable performance to laptops like Lenovo Y580 or Asus N56VZ-DS71. That said, I would actually prefer the Y580 to the MBP if you are going to use Windows anyway. Its cheaper, and has a better screen at a slightly increased weight. Can't comment on the build quality though. I had some experience with the new Lenovo X1 Carbon and that laptop is amazing (however, its also a completely different category); didn't have the chance to hold Y580 in my hands though.

Edit: the MBP is significantly thinner though...
