First off my apologies for a topic that has probably been asked before.

I'm at a point where a new laptop is a requirement.

I'm torn between the MB and MBP. I had a white MB. Loved the size. On my wife's previous gen MBP, not loving the size but could certainly live with it.

The only deciding factor is video games. I'm not a photo/edit/music/audio type of guy. I don't run any heavy powered programs. I remember when the new crop of laptops came out there were demos of the MB running COD4. This peaked my interest.

Basically, is the MB adequate for gaming? I'm an RPG type of guy. You know, KOTOR, Mass Effect, Fall Out, Star Craft 2 etc.

So I'm wondering is the MB game performance poor enough to warrant the pro for a guy who does the majority of his gaming via his 360 and primarily uses his laptop for typing papers and surfing the web.

Thanks in advance.
