Is mac-book pro good for gaming?

Answer 1

Depends. A Macintosh and Windows have serious compatibility issues. Games from the previous generation are just now getting added to the list. Go to apple.com and see a list. Starcraft is one of the few games actually compatible (if you download a file). Otherwise, you are going to have to look for special MAC labels on games or games that say they are compatible for PC and MAC (Games for Windows - Halo, Crysis, Battlefield are all uncompatible). In terms of performance, a MAC is perfect for gaming. If you have to, buy a software that allows both OS to perform on the computer. All this requires is a Windows OS disc. However, doing such will slow your MAC considerably.

Answer 2

Sure is.

Check out the game requirements so you know if it can play the game your looking at. Not all high end games work on laptops very well. The draw backs of laptops are they don't have the high end graphics card and larger processors like the towers do. Heat and battery power are the big problems.

You can usually get the games to work on the lower settings. Windows machines have the same issues.

Some games won't work with "Mobile Graphics" type cards.

Answer 3

Although some games will run on a Mac OS, many games for Mac are Power PC applications, which to my knowledge are not compatible with the current OS system. However you could install Boot Camp onto your Macbook Pro to run Windows 8 in order to play PC games. This is how I got round the limitations to gaming on a Mac anyway.

Answer 4

Yes, Macs can play online and offline computer games.

Answer 5

Ofcourse it can, as long as there is a mac os version of the game available.
