I bought a pro to be able to run SC II, but I am now wondering whether it will be able to handle DIII:
Here are the specs if you are wondering:
-2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
-2GB memory
-200GB hard drive
-Double-layer SuperDrive
-NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with 256 MB
I really don't know a whole lot about computers, I just love blizzard games
Yes, the video card is the limiting factor. It's not that you have a terrible video card, it's just that laptops don't have enough space to compete with the video cards in a desktop computer.
I was concerned about this as well, and I am relieved by this thread.
Apple is supposedly updating their laptops this October, so I hope to see some cool new stuff on which to play D3.

I hate to tell you this, friends and neighbors, but we are teensy-weensy implications in an enormous implication. If you don't like it here, why don't you go back to where you came from?

Another problem I see is the "Macs" one button mouse. Your're gonna need more than that.
Um, don't be ignorant. You could actually buy any mouse for it if you wanted to, and don't be like "well mine came free", because I doubt any gamer in their right mind would use a free microsoft mouse. And, secondly, they started coming standard with the 4 button mighty mouse in like 2006. I won't be getting my Mac Pro for awhile, seeing as they update it like ever 4-6 months.
Believing Mac mouses can only "left-click" is like believing Windows is as bad as the "Get a Mac" ads tell you.
The Mighty Mouse only has one button, but it can sense which side of the mouse you press (i.e. you can left and right click). Plus it has side buttons and a top button/scroll wheel, both of which you can set to what ever action you want. They are shipped with ever Mac standard.
On their laptops (not sure how far back they did this), you can tap the track pad with one finger for left click and two fingers for right click. Again, you can customize the actions each finger combination does.

D3 Pros: Outdoors environment, night time environment, female Barbarian, rune spell system, the Wizard class
D3 Cons: Fantasy architecture, fantasy armor, fanstasy weapons, no shaders.

but if there was a spec that was a "limiting factor" what would you say it was?

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
thats all i can see missing, and one with a left and right click.
macs downfall is its one mouse button.
