Depends on if it's your only machine or not. There are more than enough games on OS X natively that you can be entertained on a weekend trip or something. If not...well, short of the top-end model, they only have Intel integrated graphics anyway, and the top end has a GT 750M, which can be passable for the current market, provided you're happy with 720p or lower (and probably lowered detail).

Really though, install/log into Steam on it, and see how many games you have are SteamPlay enabled (meaning you can just install the Mac version).

Got into a conversation with a good looking 30-35 year old at a parking lot at a doctor's office. Both of us waiting for the person we dropped off. She was asking how old I was and if I had a gf. Then said I was too cute to be single.

For a really shy guy like me, it was a confidence booster. She was about 10 years older than me, I'd say, which was awesome.

Score!

What ticked me off: Didn't take advantage.

If you think she's actually serious or has a plan, you call the police.

no, she isn't serious. it's the fifth or sixth time she's claimed it, the worst she's done is acted like she was about to take a bunch of pills which was obviously fake, she can't even brush her teeth without gagging, she couldn't swallow 40 pills.
