The macbooks have a weak video system and small 13" screen.

The mac book pro has as 9500 / 9600 256 - 512 video card.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22408570 Mon, 18 May 2009 21:42:22 EDT Re: WTB New Lapton for Grandson http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22408139 anon : That's good advice. The school's design program should have recommendations and you may be able to get deals through the school. If you want it to be a surprise I would have his parents look into it. It is best to base your decision off of that.

Unfortunately Mac laptops aren't gaming platforms so a compromise will have to be made.

He is then going to college for graphic design. I am looking for a computer for him. I have heard the Mac is something he might need but no one in our family knows anything about them so it would be a lot easier to get a higher end Dell. He also likes to play games so I would need something that has at least a 256 video card. I would like some opinions, should I take a chance on the Mac that no one knows anything about or would a Dell XPS get the job done.
Thanks for any replies.
