Cheers for someone speaking up for Macs.... I dont do a lot of gaming (I'm an audio engineer so audio makes up most of my heavy processing) but whenever I have I've never had issues on any of my mac machines.
I've always been shocked that even for older games, my piddly little G4 450 with a crappy Radeon 7000 and stock AGP cards can trounce my friends' 1+ ghz pcs... It boggles my mind most days...
Personally I have to agree, this machine is ugly, bulky, heavy, hot and has limited battery life... None of the features I'd look for in any gaming machine... I'd rather lug a desktop and a flat panel for less money, then pay $3700 for what really amounts to a one trick pony. $3700 would buy me a high end TiBook that I could easily use for gaming, but also for a whole hell of a lot of other things.... Much better use of cash IMO
