I don't think basing your reasoning on purchasing a $1,000 laptop on whether it can play Tomb Raider or not is a good idea.

But,
Recommended Requirements:

Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8
• DirectX 11 graphics card with 1GB Video RAM:
- AMD Radeon HD 4870
- nVidia GTX 480
• Quad core CPU:
- AMD Phenom II X2 565
- Intel Core i5-750
• 4GB Memory
• 10GB Hard Drive space

The integrated graphics on the MBP will probably struggle to run Tomb Raider. I expect it will work on low settings though.
 
Description:
Minimum:

OS: Windows XP Service Pack 3, Windows Vista,7,8 (32bit/64bit)
Processor: Dual core CPU: AMD Athlon64 X2 2.1 Ghz (4050+), Intel Core2 Duo 1.86 Ghz (E6300)
Memory: 2 GB RAM
Graphics: DirectX 9 graphics card with 512Mb Video RAM: AMD Radeon HD 2600 XT, nVidia 8600
DirectX®: 9.0c
Hard Drive: 10 GB HD space
Other Requirements: Broadband Internet

So yes it should handle it no problem.

A fool and their money.
 
i m asking coz in the Graphics in Recommended Requirements or Minimum there is no Intel HD Graphics 4000 only AMD Radeon HD 4870
- nVidia GTX 480
also one of my friends told me it won't work

----------

i need to upgrade my laptop and i am a fan of tomb raider so it would be a lot better that the new laptop i will upgrade can play my favorite game nothing more :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDyi4AHVMLE it definitely plays on low settings, averaging at about 30fps dipping into the low 20s at times and maxing at maybe 36fps... based on a quite comparable laptop (assume you meant 2.5ghz for clock speed, really don't think any mbp w/ hd 4000 exist @ 1.5ghz but i dont' even pay attention to the 13" macs)

Both those graphics card will run circles around the Intel 4000HD without even breaking a sweat.

The 13" Mac Laptops are NOT gaming machines, period. I wouldn't expect the game to run very well, even at the very lowest graphics settings.

Hmm maybe step it up to a 15 inch then.
 
Am pretty sure for $100 you can buy an xbox 360 and play it, i beat this game last week it was awesome it took me 12 plus hour to complete on the xbox 360
 
doubt it, tried assassins creed 3 on mine, within 20 minutes the audio and video was out of sync and the controls were lagging
 
looks good that, but why are majority of high end windows laptops you see still only managing 3 hours battery?

I think the problem is that you're not looking in the right places. The majority of laptops I looked at back in 2011 had 5 hours of battery life, were under $1000, and that was with a dedicated GPU.

Intel HD graphics is the most basic graphics solution offered in this generation.

13" Macbook Pro will only run the game with no lag in lowest (or close to lowest) graphics configuration possible.

In fact, the 2013 Tomb Raider does not even run natively on OS X. Therefore, if you are looking for a laptop that can play games in the similar budget line, you should probably consider windows based laptops with better graphics solutions.

This link provides a list of mobile graphics solutions ranked based on their performance benchmarks indexed by game framerates. It should be a good reference.

Or spend that 1000USD and build your own rig...
You can get a pretty good gaming PC with that.

If you are just looking to game, Mac is not the best option nor cost efficient.

pay more and get a 650m that is in apple camp

pay 1119 and get a 670mx

dont kid yourself

Yeah, pay $1800 and get a 650m, which is the equivalent of a desktop 640, mind you. Which is a very low end card. Sorry, I guess I'm kidding myself; you are getting your money's worth :rolleyes:

Or are you talking about the iMac with the 675mx? I mean sure, you can pay $2000 for a 660ti equivalent (mid-high range; not bad). Whatever floats your boat. Although, you could pay half the price and get much better performance and build your own PC. You'll always have the thinnest desktop computer, I guess. (If you can find a use for that)
