I am currently in the drool stage about the Black Macbook.... but the GPU holds me back.
I have read a few places that the WoW performance under bootcamp/windows is not entirely horrible. This would not be my main machine for gaming, but I would like the ability to do so if needed.
anyone run WoW on this particular machine with a healthy amount of ram in windows?
how does it fare?

The machine he reccommends should do very nicely for current games.

That MBP is 1499 at an Apple Store now, if you can find one. Refreshed, not refurbished.

I know, I just REALLY like the form factor and color, damn apple for crippling it....but if they put a decent vid card in it, then it would be a Macbook Pro =/
so does anyone use a Macbook under bootcamp for WoW and can give me some performance numbers?
