Hi,

I currently use the latest MacBook Pro with the GT330M and have been very happy with the Windows gaming performance. Portal under Mac OSX was slower that the Windows version.

If you get the 15 inch, make sure you get the upgraded high res screen. Also, Apple retail stores will give you a full refund within two weeks if you are unhappy with it for any reason - so try it and see how it goes.
