Your system is too weak...

Not only that, he have to stick with the much slower OpenGL plugin in the process.
Don't know if it would help installing Windows 7 via Boot Camp or something enable to use Direct3D9 that might bring things up in speed a little.

Your CPU really is underpowered for matching the console performance. Laptop CPU just can't be easily overclocked or anything, so few options.
MacBooks have good resale value, you could consider a sell and purchase a more powerful one. A Sandy Bridge CPU will get you closer.

Good choice
It's the only logical choice.
But I think he should try the Boot Camp Windows 7 Direct3D9 idea first as a last resort just for the heck of it.

well I suppose if someone choose a Mac it's because he uses it for other things that playing but it's true that for playing you OFTEN got probs it isn't a criticism but I think it's a reality

I think if he's really interested in saving money then by all means he should, I mean who wouldn't?
Then as a last resort I would upgrade.
