$1200 budget?
Have you even looked at the price tags on Macs?
What game are you going to play on a Mac? You'll have to buy Windows anyways to play any game. | |

I honestly believe that mac's are overpriced compared to the windows base laptops you can get for the same price. | |

Macs are entirely overpriced; however, I have had my Macbook Pro for a little over 2 years now and I'm quite satisfied with it (disregard the fact I'm building a desktop PC now). If you want something different... I say go for it. Sure you'll get less bang for your buck, but if that's not an issue with you - you'll be more than able to play WoW, Warhammer, etc. at decent settings while staying in your price range. Just my two cents. | |

If all he wants is something, run Windows and Linux. If a laptop PC is cheaper for his needs and he doesn't really need a Mac, then I don't see the point in getting one.
It's all about preference and what suits your needs. If you're a gamer then you're better off running Windows.
