(final cut & logic pro) Macs are not bad computers, Apple just doesn't care about gaming and the majority of their customers do not either. People who prefer the mac to a windows PC like the layout and functionality of the GUI more than windows, and potentially the apps they use are only on a mac. Macs are made with everything but gaming in mind, and historically macs have been big with artists and not gamers. do not use the GPU the same way games do. Most professional applications for photo editing, video editing, etc. It's a laptop not designed with gaming in mind, the gpu is going to be slower than its desktop versions and with the design of the MacBook Pro the cooling isn't efficient enough for running the GPU at full blast like you do when you play games.
