I wouldn't buy a laptop for gaming. You can't upgrade them, so they get outdated quickly. Not to mention they can be clumsy to use. If you want a gaming computer, I'd look at a desktop with a high-end video card and lots of memory and RAM.

As for the notebook itself, I looked it up on the Internet for an expert's opinion. Reviews.cnet.com says that it's "Incredibly thin yet surprisingly sturdy" with "new trackpad gesture controls [that] are very useful" and the "remote optical drive makes living without a built-in drive much easier." However, it has "Very limited connectivity" and is "slower than other MacBooks", with a "SSD hard-drive option [that] is ridiculously expensive." The "standard hard drive is small" and the "battery is not user replaceable."

If I wanted a notebook, I'd go for something else.
