I've been an Apple user almost all my life until 2004, when I decided to try out PCs, mainly for gaming. I purchased an Alienware Area 51-M laptop, and for the most part, it's served me well for the last few years. But now I'm ready for a new computer, and I'm interested in buying a Macbook.
I've found that I'm not much for PC gaming, and primarily just use my current laptop for web browsing, typing, watching videos, and the occasional emulator. I'm interested in getting a Macbook; I like the small size and I'm likely going to be moving around a lot come this summer. For my needs, it seems like it will work fine, and there's no reason to spend the extra cash on a Pro. That said, if I did want to run something like Unreal Tournament 3 on a Macbook, would it be possible?
However, I'd be getting the Macbook for use as my primary computer, and am concerned it might not be the right choice for 3-4 years of use, and that paying extra for a more powerful Macbook Pro might be the way to go.
I really do like the 13" Macbook, but if the 15" Pro would be better in the long run, perhaps I should go with that instead. If I have to sacrifice some gaming, it's not that big a deal since I'm not looking to buy a computer for that reason. I'm used to using a desktop replacement PC laptop though, and I'm not sure if the Macbook would work well in that way. Looking for any advice and recommendations.
