    Hello,

    I'm considering buying a new laptop for University and Runescape and other games too. so I'm just wondering if the MacBook Pro with Retina Display is able to run Runescape on Highest settings?

    2.6GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5
    8GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
    128GB PCle-Based Flash Storage
    Intel Iris Graphics

    Macbook Pro Retina (16GB) user here,

    It can run it just fine. You'll need to use the downloadable client instead of the webclient because the webclient messes up.

    Other games run smooth as well.

    I guess there will be noticable difference between 8GB & 16GB.
    How well does Runescape run?
    What do other games run like? Can you give me any examples of ones you've played?

    It'll be able to play RS just fine. 8GB could run like 6 clients or more if you wanted. I have an 8GB and I can load about 8 clients in hd before i feel any noticable lag

    Awesome!! I guess I'll just train 6* accounts for fun. Always wanted to be able to run more than 1 bot haha. Well my laptop at the moment can't even run Runescape in Low so it's a tad difficult to bot.
    Can you leave bots running on Macs for long periods of time?

    You can, but computers will always heat up, so I wouldn't advise it unless you're doing it for gold farming.

    Macbooks are build to withstand the heat. I've ran CS:GO, LoL, CoD2, RSPS, RS3, OSRS, TF2, GMod, Portal 2 & D3 all on high/ultra settings with no problems. Macs are build to render a lot of stuff in high detail, hench why it's used by almost every design & production company.
