Good advice. I find a lot of games (Steam-wise) do work natively. If your Macbook is powerful enough, running a windows vm works well too - or you can bootcamp.

There's always the option to get a Thinkpad and run Linux. shrug

Though I have separate computers for work/gaming. It's a good divide.

I wonder if those games that come from steam are really native or run in a wrapper, such as cider. Anyway like you said, you can use bootcamp and most games will run pretty okay! (But not as good as on a dedicated machine with a decent graphic card of course). I've had no luck yet with running any games trough a windows vm (I've tried both parallels and vmware).
