Friend of Obsessable, Mike Wesner, saw our video of Warhammer Online Age of Reckoning playing on the new MacBook, and since he had just bought a new 2.53Ghz MacBook Pro with 4GBs of RAM, he thought he'd try another game. Installing Windows XP SP2 via Boot Camp, Mike decided to install Team Fortress 2. He notes: "Frame rates were amazing at native resolution. Very playable, no lag." Don't believe him? Watch the video:

Don't worry. We won't keep posting video of every video game on the new Apple laptops that we spot on YouTube. From the looks of things, both the new MacBooks and the new MacBook Pros are viable laptops for casual gamers.
