I'm asking this because I'm
trying to decide between a MBP and an iMac and would like to research the MBP a bit more before I make my decision.
I plan to do quite a bit of gaming on my new Mac. My game of choice is Guild Wars most of the time, which isn't very graphically demanding, requirements wise. I know that the old ATI card or the new nVidia one in the newer models can both play it with no problem. I'm more concerned about what it actually FEELS like to game in BootCamp on a MBP, because I don't know anyone with one so I can't try it out.
I'm going to be playing for about 3 hours a day almost every day of the week, but for even longer sessions on weekends (maybe 4-6 hours, but I've done bouts of 8 before!) I'll be using an external mouse, but using the keyboard for the keyboard commands, and I play mostly with a keyboard. Does it feel awkward to use a laptop keyboard for that long? How hot is the laptop going to get? Is that going to interfere or make it uncomfortable? Do you think a laptop is a bad idea if that much gaming is going to be done?
I'd really like people who spend time gaming on their MBPs to give me feedback about their own experiences, tips and tricks, and if they think it's a good choice.
