How good is the new mac-book pro at running PC games, will it run...

I currently have a mac mini which i have boot-camped for playing PC games.
Many of the new games exceed the graphics spec of my mac.
I am considering buying one of the new mac-book pro's.
Could someone please tell me if the new macbook pro runs the following PC games through boot-camp .
1) Call of duty 4
2) Battlefield 2
3) Rainbow 6 vegas (1 and 2)
I know it is possible to get some of the above games for OSX but i want them on PC so i can play them over my local area network with other PCs.
Thanks
P.S: the new mack book has: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M + 9600M GT with 512/256 MB

ziggy067,
Both the Macbook Pro and your Mini will run Windows games, under Windows, just like any other similarly-configured PC.
In other words, the new Macbook Pro, and indeed any of the Macbook Pros, will run the games you list just fine.

  • After migrating a new Mac Book Pro from Time Capsule, I noticed that I lost a group of Favorites on the older iMac. The puzzling thing is that the Favorites are on my iPhone--not the old iMac or the new Mac Book Pro. How do I get the Favorites back?

    If you are syncing using iCloud, try going to System Preferences/iCloud (computers) and checking Safari. If it is checked, try deselecting it, wait 10-15 seconds, and then check it again.

    There is a US$10 adapter from old power adapter to new MacBook Pro.
    MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter
    The MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter allows you to use the MagSafe connector on your LED Cinema Display, Thunderbolt Display, or MagSafe Power Adapter to charge your MagSafe 2-equipped Mac computer.
    For battery life, check the latest Software Update for the fix for most problems.

  • Using both the display ports on the new mac book pro

    Hi, are there some one in Appel that can tell me if its possible to use both the display ports on the new mac book pro to show keynote on? or if its possible to make that possible? i would really like to be able to create a keynote with 5120 x 1600 pixels and get that output on two display ports, so that i can use my hardware to make a keynote with really nice reselution. its for use on a screen size of 18x4 meter.

    Connect one display to the Mini-Displayport and the other to a USB port using an adapter like this:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/VIDU2DVIA/
    Or buy a Matrox DualHead2Go DP Edition external video box and connect both displays to that, which in turn connects to the Mini-Displayport on the computer.
    There are limitations either way. A USB-connected display will be less responsive than one connected to the MDP, because USB 2 is slow. To use two displays with the Matrox box, I believe the displays must be identical. Read and understand all the caveats about each alternative before making a decision about which way to go.

  • HT1277 Mail has gone crazy. Header's and messages are mixed up. New Mac Book Pro. Migrated files from Time machine running snow leopard. Reinstall or new computer needed?

    Ok; I'm not sure what you're doing.    36 hours is rather long.  Seems like a new migration.  Not what I intended.
    Here's what I intended: from the newly-migrated and apparently-corrupt environment, create a new user, not related to any existing user, nor any migration-created user, or any other user for that matter.  That is, use  > System Preferences > Users and Groups, authenticate yourself by clicking on the padlock, and then click the + and create a wholly new user.  Then log in under that user and establish the mail access.
    36 hours?  I'm wondering if there's an error or an exceedingly slow network here?  Or a really, really slow disk?  Or a sick backup?  (WiFi isn't the path I'd usually choose, either.)
    Failing the attempted second migration, I'd try a different tactic.  Does your existing (old) system work?   If so, I'd bypass the backup and connect an external (scratch) USB disk drive to the (old) sstem and then boot and use Disk Utility booted from the installer DVD disk or boot and use Disk Utility from the recovery partition or booted from a recovery partition created on some other external storage (details here vary by the OS X version and what hardware you have), and perform a full-disk backup of your original internal disk to (scratch) external storage.  (Make sure you get the source and target disks chosen correctly here; copying the wrong way — from the scratch disk to your existing disk — will clobber your data!)  In esssence, this will clone your existing boot disk.  Then dismount the (formerly-scratch) external disk, transfer it over to the new system, and use it as the source of the migration, by performing a fresh OS X installation on the new system.
    Target Disk Mode is also sometimes an option for accessing the disk for a migration, but that requires the right cable, and requires systems that have the same external connection; newer MacBook Pro systems use Thunderbolt for this, and older systems tend to use FireWire.  And I'm guessing you don't have compatible hardware.
    The details here can and do vary by your OS X versions and your particular Mac systems — if you'll identify the specific models and hardware, somebody might be able to better tailor the above (fairly generic) sequence to your particular configuration.

  • Why not optimus technology on the new mac book pro notebooks ?

    Hello why there is no optimus technology in the mac book notebooks? I never had a mac and i am interesting to buy a 17'inch mac book pro, after my excitement on the 2011 model, i thought to my self why do they need to have a dedicated memory for graphics and not for ex. nvidia optimus? I have no idea about mac's, but anyways since i thought i am going to use it for my studies i do need energy efficient notebook, so why apple does not support a new technology ?
    P.s Thank you.

    No one here can answer that!  None of us works for Apple therefore, cannot speak for them.  These are user to user fourms where everyday folk (volunteers) post question & offer answers to each other.
    Suggest that you do research through Google to find answers to your question(s).  Or call or write Apple.  I am quite sure, they will be happy to answer your questions about why they do the things they do.
    Good luck!

  • How good are the new Macs for Logic?

    I've read some damning articles about some problems with the new macs/os selling now, esp running Logic.
    Any ideas on what a fellow traveller should buy?
    Is it worth the trouble right now?
    Should one wait until the issues are resolved?
    What should one do if one needed a working DAW right NOW?
    Thanks for any input.
    Happy holidays to all.
    Peace & love,
    BB

    What problems especially are you talking about? new macs not working together with Logic pro 9?
    I'm using Logic 9 and i'm having my problems with it, but what i've been experiencing is that normally the mac is not the problem, it's logic 9 itself, or maybe the programming.
    but if you want to be mobile with your equipment, i'd recommend a macbook pro with quite a bit of ram and a fast hard drive. (7.200 rpm, something like a seagate barracuda).
    from my experience apple is not very fast when it comes to fixing bugs in logic but so far 9.0.2 is working pretty stable. another option would be to use cubase, or digital performer as daw?

  • The new Mac Book Pro and Fire Wire

    Hi,
    can I use the new MacBook'sPro Fire 800 plug with a 400 connection? Are there any adapters? Otherwise what to do with all my Fire Wire 400 applications?
    Cheers
    Hartmut

    Hi nvelotta,
    FW800 uses the 9-pin Firewire connector.
    FW400 uses both 6-pin (powered) and 4-pin (non-powered) connectors.
    Most video cameras that use Firewire use the 4-pin connectors because they do not require power over the cable, and also because it is smaller. What you most likely need is this:
    http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=102&cp_id=10301&cs_id=1030104&pid=3541&seq=1&format=2
    It's a 9-pin to 4-pin cable. However, you said that the 4-pin connector does not fit into your camera. Does the 6-pin fit into the camera? If neither of these fit, the port on your camera is not a Firewire port. USB plugs are strictly rectangular. It could be one of those.
    Let me know what conclusion you reach and I can help you find an appropriate cable!

  • How do I restore the data from my time capsule to the new mac book pro

    Take a look at Migration Assistant, in the /Applications/Utilities folder.  You can use a Time Machine backup to restore your data files.

  • Does the new mac book pro come with iDVD

    errrrr. So I just bought a new  OS X 10.7 .1 MacBook pro and  I can't find iDVD : ( . Does it come already installed? If not is there any free software out there that can copy and burn DVDs???

    iDVD is no longer installed when you purchase a Mac with Lion 10.7. Need to copy and burn DVD's? Use the Finder and/or Disk Utility. That's free. SimplyBurns is free.

  • Purchased Mac Book Pro 2.7 GHz, 16GB RAM (upgrade), 512 FLASH (upgrade) 14 days ago - but new MAC Book Pro announce today (10/22). Did I Overpay? Any discounts or reimbursements for non-needed upgrades?

    I recently (14 days ago) purchased a Mac Book Pro 15.4 and increased the processor to 2.7 Quad Core Intel Core i7, increased memeoty to 16 GB 1600MHz DDR3l SDRAM, increased the storage to 512 Flash Storage. Today (10/22) an New Mac Book Pro was announce and release for purchase. This new laptop has 16 GB RAM and 512 Storage as defualt options without having to pay a premium.
    After contacting the customer service I was presented with two options - since the customer service representatives/ supervisors/ leads could not locate the price differences they could not tell me how much the credit should actually have been.
    1. Return the computer, have the monies returned to me and repurchase a laptop with the new standars (aproxx 2 -3 week process).
    2. Take a $150.00 credit
    I can say that the memory was probably $200.00 and the storage was probably $300.00.
    Is there a way to get the full refund for hardware configurations that are now default?
    If I had waited another 2 weeks I could have save some money and get a better video card and processor. The release of the New Mac Book Pro was not a known/ planned event.
    Can you help Apple?
    Thank you!

    You have also posted in the Mac Pro forum and not the MacBook forum. You may find many other similar experiences there. For future reference it's worth noting forthcoming upcoming Apple events and checking out some of the Apple related websites. You will then be able to make an educated guess re what is about to be updated and what is likely to remain the same. It's now a good time to buy an iPhone and all those recently updated MacBook Pro and iPad models. Less good time to buy iMacs.More detailed info here.
