Hi there,

i am just about to buy a 15-inch: 2.8GHz macbook pro,

i am wanting to be able to play games like fallout 3, and i was wondering if the 15-inch: 2.8GHz will be comparable to an xbox 360 at all?, as int eh refresh rate and graphics? if it will be and if it runs smoother this will seal me into buying one.

also will i be able to play the fallout game using an xbox 360 controller with a wireless pc dongle on a macbook pro?

also will playing games such as fallout drain the battery extremly quick on a macbook pro?

any help would be greatly appriciated.

lewis.

Yes. Fallout 3 runs just fine on my early 2008 iMac.

Yes. When the MacBook Pro is running Windows, it is a Windows PC. It can do anything you could on a PC with similar specs.

Yes.
