Just saw the enhanced version is available on steam for 10 bucks, and I never played the original. I have a macbook that is about a 1 1/2 years old. It looks like it could run the 'minimum specs'.

My macbook is:

Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo

Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz

Memory: 4 GB

Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 320M

VRAM (Total): 256 MB

Should I give it a go? Should I play the original before moving onto the sequel? (note: I'll probably play the witcher 2 on 360 either way. Even though it's coming out for mac, I doubt my laptop could handle it at all)

Don't do it. I think we have the same Macbook (late 2008 model?). The minimum specs are just that.. bare minimum. Expect barely playable framerates on the lowest setting.

But you have a PC capable of running Battlefield 3 don't you?

A few wine based problems, but it runs pretty well.

@AhmadMetallic: Probably a mobility thing
