Maybe you got a Macbook and wanted to play Steam, but couldn't find a
way that was free. Or maybe you couldn't find a way at all! Well, there
are several, but this method is free. And here it is.
The two drawbacks: You can't buy new games from the store, but you can buy them on a PC then they'll be on your Mac's steam game list ready for download. Also the in-game chat does not work, if someone messages you in a game, things screw up. Chat out of game works fine though.
Also, this works with a Macbook, not a Macbook Pro. You don't need a Pro to run Steam! All the source games are perfectly playable, even online.
Here are the specs used in this example:
MacBook of Late 2008 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 1 GB Ram Intel GMA X3100
