They could probably run the standard SC2 or whatever, but if you really want a game rig, get a PC instead. Best to get a combo of MBP for school and a at-home desktop Windows PC for games

Win7 is also great for school, reading documents, WP, surfing, etc. If you're in engineering school, MB is also not a good choice, because so much engineering software is Windows.
See what I did there?
I guess if you're an art's student then it's good for you!
To each their own. What's that commercial that makes fun of Apple hippies.. "I'm an Artist, so I need an iPhone." "Dude, you're a barista".
I owned a MBAir and used it extensively for a year (I travel a lot). What it comes down to is whether or not you want to pay a price premium on old technology that is jazzed up with a shiny OS.
