I havent tried yet.īattery at moderate-heavy (gaming, installs, etc) usage is about 3.5-4 hours from what it gave me last night. Might be able to do more, I didnt mess with it much.īattery life for most people doing surfing/documents seems to be 9ish hours. RTCW runs great at whatever it defaulted to - med/low mix. LOTRO runs alright, 10-15 FPS (But I have the high res client on there right now, not sure if swapping to low client and using all low settings will be any different) - Not really playable for fighting or anything, but you could do AH and mail, bank etc in a town without much trouble. WoW is playable (5-20FPS depending, 5ish in Dalaran, all low) and you can do five man dungeons pretty decently - Again, positive going to 2GB of RAM is going to be a massive boost, it was on a desktop. GTA: VC pretty damn well (A little laggy at times, but pretty sure its RAM related, 1GB with Vista Ultimate is a little low on RAM right now ), Until I upgrade to 2GB of RAM I cant tell you perfectly how well stuff runs, but with the 1GB I can play: My Eee 1001P seems pretty powerful for the older games I want to put on it. It looks like a nice piece of hardware, but the only drawback is my current games would be rendered useless on it's Android system and I would likely need to re-buy lots of games to run on it. I'm also tentatively keeping an eye on the Notion Ink Adam tablet. I haven't been able to find much information in the way of netbook gaming performance and don't want to be let down when I finally pick one up. What I'm curious to know is if anyone out there in land has a netbook capable of running those games well. I'd like to be able to play my modest indie games like World of Goo and Braid in addition to revisiting old classics like Starcraft, Diablo II and the plethora of Quake 3 engine shooters that I own (Jedi Knight, Soldier of Fortune II, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, etc). Now, I'm a realist and know I won't be playing modern games. One of the things I would like it to be able to do is play games. I've more or less resolved myself to getting a higher end netbook than a lower end laptop. Emphasis on travel so power consumption and battery life are paramount. Long story short, I've been in the market for some time for a portable computing device for travel and loafing about on the couch. i really like strategy games in general (mostly not turn-based) but usually i don't like the whole fantasy-stuff and although i really like wesnoth.Hey all, this thread started as a reply to a different thread but realized I would be derailing that post and that post may have been wrapped up in a nice little package thus requiring no further posts, but I digress.for sure if you like foss it will be welcome to support the project by donating some money you like to spend. i just recommended free (foss) games, so you can try them without a hassle yourself and if you don't like them you haven't misspent your money. Maybe also have a look at Freeciv or FreeCol, but i haven't tried them myself so i will only mention that they fit your (hardware-)requirements.
