What GPU does your laptop use?
Laptops are just a different beast than desktops....
A good gaming laptop from, say Alienware (I hate that they're owned by Dell now), would run you just as much as a Mac Book
I don't really laptop Game though....
As far as desktops... you can completely replicate Mac Pro hardware, get an Antec 900 or HAF case and be no worse for the wear
Even if you CAN afford a Mac Pro... Unless you are using MAC specific software (Like LOGIC or Digital Performer), Then I'd really suggest a PC
For a pure gaming machine... you wouldn't even discuss apple
i absolutely agree, if my only mission i life was to game I'd want a PC.. My MacBook pro is an i7 model w/ intel hd 3000 gpu.

I bought the macbook pro because its extremely cool(temp wise), great look and feel, and very very very quiet. I am also a developer and develop in a linux environment for the past 10 or so years. I absolutely love my macbook pro and probably won't buy any other laptop ever again. I LOVE the hardware internal and external..

This is my first mac anything computer wise.. I've had an iphone since the original and now a iphone 4...
