yeah right how many games have been made for mac? The last time I checked many of the new games are only made for the consoles and PC.
Besides just like every other Mac products it's waaaaaay overpriced and overhyped
and it is almost impossible to upgrade them so have fun buying a new one every year. I have to say I am pretty impressed by Apple's marketing department because despite
the high price and obvious inferiority compared to PC there are still ppl buying those crap.
Well.. Steam now supports OsX

It's overhype'd yes. But it's actually not a whole lot more pricier then other competing laptops in the same market (Base 13"MBP).
I'm a hardcore pc user as most around here knows, and i brought a MacBook Pro for my traveling needs. Being portable, long battery life and well built are 3 of my biggest concerns. I needed more processing power then an Atom can provide so naturally i avoided the netbooks. So Mac comes to mind, most notebooks flex when you pick them up with the screen open, not so with the unibody MBPs, i've pull 9 hours from a single charge at one time.. but i still average 7 hours doing low cpu bounded work.
And you can actually upgrade these things. I brought the lowest model of the 13" MacBook pro since i know it'll be cheaper to get that and upgrade rather then buying the more expensive version. I brought it and since then have upgraded from 2gb of ram to 4gbs. Upgraded the stock 160gb 5400rpm drive for a seagate 500gb 7200 2.5" drive. I'm contemplating on getting a 256gb SSD in the near future.
Apple is actually pretty competitive in the notebook market. The Mac Pros (Desktop) is where it's overpriced.
I don't feel the need to game on the go so that wasn't a concern at all when getting a OSX equipped machine, but it will be able to if i wanted.
Customer service has also been top-notch every time i needed assistance. I say this from experience, been dealing with numerous tech companies the past 7 to 8 years i've been building computers.
