Which Macbook Pro to buy?
Hey guys.
Since I'm a senior, I plan on buying a macbook pro before my college days begin. I plan on taking notes, do homework and even game. I acknowledge that Macbook Pro is not a gaming technology; however, I have seen some people play Diablo 3 and even MapleStory. I want to ask you guys, which Macbook Pro is the best for gaming or which Macbook pro has the best specs to run these sort of games?

"Built-in batteries (7 hours)"
I can tell you from owning a Mac that batteries, fully charged...DO NOT last 7 hours....even on the lowest resolution, engery saving options, etc...
At max it will last 2-3 hours with optimal settings....but that's why I bring my laptop charger with me to school

What if the 13 Inch was compared to
Macbook Pro 15 Inch: 2.6GHz
2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
750GB 5400-rpm hard drive1
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory

which i7 is that? the 15 is better.
The weight of the Macbook Pro is not a problem for me. Heavier or lighter does not matter to me. I currently need more thoughts from people about which Macbook Pro I should get. The Macbook 13' is .6 GHz higher and doubles the ram of the Macbook 15'; however, Macbook 15' has a better GPU. Which comes down to a better gaming Macbook?
I suggest the 13" if you're going to be carrying it around in college.
