First of all, it's laptop, not labtop.

Check this machine out. It's a killer notebook for the price.

"Available at locations like Best Buy for a mere $1350 (and currently with a $100 rebate), the P-6831 FX completely redefines the midrange gaming notebook."

Generally, a mac running windows with equivalent hardware to a PC will run games the same or better.Overclockd

Anandtech compared a Windows-running Mac with a similarly-configured PC notebook. While they tied in most applications, the PC notebook ran a few of the benchmarks around 1% faster than the Mac. "Unified" or not, a Mac won't run a game any faster than a similarly-configured PC.

It's almost a shame that Apple had to go with intel. The PPC architecture was indeed faster...codezer0

According to an "Intel Mac vs PPC Mac" article on anandtech.com, the Xeon-based Mac raped the G5-based Mac in most applications.

The speed tester probably measures your bandwidth in kilobits per second, while Steam and your broweser's download manager measure in kilobytes per second.

Thanks!

I'm used to purchasing my games from brick and mortar stores.

I started downloading two games last night on Steam and paused the download before shutting down. One game was paused at 87%; the other game was at 27%.

I resumed the download today. The game that was paused at 27% started from 53% when I resumed it. Is Steam always like this, or will a quarter of my game be missing?

Doesn't really matter on an LCD screen.

A CRT running at 60Hz would look like a strobe light and give you a nice little headache in no time. But because LCD monitors don't have electron guns continuously repainting their screens, refresh rate isn't an issue.
