But there are so many Dells -_- Sony Vaio seems to be pretty decent from all the reviews. The only thing that's really bugging me now is the customer support. Basing this off reviews, Macbook seems to have a much better cs than Vaio, but Vaio just seems to be slightly better in performance than Macbook and a little under the cost.

for your CAD programs if you don't find mac compatibility, just install dual boot(bootcamp) with windows inside

for counterstrike I don't know, but watch this video :Counter Strike Source MacBook Pro Intel core i7 - YouTube

If anything, I was going to get the Macbook Pro with the i5, from everything I heard I don't want to spend an extra $300 for i7.
