Quake Live

If I buy a macbook pro, can I play Quake Live right away? Or do I need bootcamp and windows?

No need to make more than one thread about this, when a simple search will suffice: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&q=QuakeLive+mac+os+x&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g-s1 or http://www.google.com/cse?cx=011016...e:forums.macrumors.com&hl=en&as_qdr=all&meta=

A yes or no would have been easier?

Quake Live on the Mac is currently unplayable. I'm getting ~60 FPS on my 2.53GHz/4GB/13", and you can't bind mouse2 so no jumping. Playing in Windows is silky smooth, except the laptop gets too hot without smcfancontrol or coolbook

your deciding factor in getting a macbook is whether or not you can play quakelive?

If you are spending thousands of dollars to play a 10 year old game you are doing something wrong. They just released Quakelive for Mac, give it some time.

But he needs a Mac. His Dell will be down the drain in like 2 hours...
