- if you need a PRO MACBOOK ------->just take the 15 model (quad core cpu and decent gpu)
- if you need a LIGHT Macbook ----------> Take the Macbook 12 or Air ---ignore the "PRO" 13.


Other reports ? Different points of view ?

Macbooks aren't designed as gaming machines, that simple really.

The 13 inch pro is a superior computer too the air, I would say don't buy an air, get a 13 inch MBP for your mobile computing needs and a 15 inch pro for performance on the go with the understanding that it won't match a gaming machine or a desktop replacement laptop, but at least it will be actually portable and have a decent battery life. No point to more than one laptop in my eyes though just get one or the other.

If you need serious performance for your work (or gaming) use a desktop that can provide that performance without the inevitable compromises of a portable machine.

Which MBP 13", if it's equivalent to your Air as in 2008, are you really surprised it can't do CPU intensive work?

Buy an Xbox for your gaming needs peeps, cost a fraction and give a much better experience. Buying any Mac with gaming as a priority is like buying a Rolls Royce with off-road rally as a priority.

Hello! Do you have the new Macbook pro or the old one ?

i suspect that many macbook pro 13 users are just lacking experience with the other macs.
