NB: Tested on an ION 2 netbook.
The adventurous me decided to test another recent game that was way beyond the capabilities of my new Asus Eee PC 1015PN, with its ION 2 processor. The results were a bit surprising, although in the end it was hardly playable, but hey, this is Netbookist, where everything [...]
NB: Tested on an ION 2 netbook.
Can’t believe it? Well, it’s real. This is a screenshot taken from my Asus Eee PC 1015PN. Unfortunately the truth is that BF:BC2 plays terribly. At 10fps, and a lack of processing power causing my ping to hit 400-600ms, the truth is that you’re [...]
How do people on netbook get 12 hours of battery life? No idea, and I don’t even think that is possible. In my experience that can never happen, not least with the recent upgrade to a dual-core, ION 2, and other things that run the battery down.
But the truth is that no matter how [...]
As you might know, I recently blew up my HP’s Mini 110′s screen. I sent it in for servicing hoping expecting to pay about $150-200. Although that is half as much as what my netbook is worth, I wouldn’t mind paying it. Of course, who’d know that the people at the service centre [...]
This is as apt as it gets. After my HP Mini 110 got destroyed by me and my clumsiness, HP decides to slash prices on its webOS based tablets, selling them at $99. Surely, people who paid the original $400-plus price must be furious. The HP tablet is one of the shortest-living products [...]
Yesterday in Hong Kong, Lenovo COO Rory Read promised that “You’ll see us introduce over the coming quarters the ability to reach mainstream price points with [Ultrabook] solutions that were only 18 months ago in premium segments. That’s just a natural evolution of the space.”
Unfortunately, Read did not define what ‘mainsteam’ implied. CNet believes [...]
A while ago I wrote a post on how to remove Windows 7 Starter’s most annoying cripple tactic - the lack of the ability to personalise your background. The Windows logo just looked absolutely hideous as a background.
Recently, Liliputing mentioned another fix which you can use to get things right. [...]
The Dell Inspiron M102z will be the first netbook to be equipped with the new AMD C-60 processor along with a more powerful Radeon HD6290 graphics processor at base price. There will be an option for you to upgrade it to the more powerful E-450 processor with the Radeon HD6320 chip.
The AMD C-60 Ontario [...]
When I was really young, I used to play Rogue Spear quite a bit. The game was one of my weekend favourites, though much like most games, it’s under-appreciated. While some games go viral such as DOTA or Counter-Strike, there are still the underdogs of every genre. Rogue Spear happens to be one of them, [...]
Quake Live is a game that was developed out of the most popular version of Quake – Quake III Arena. What the people at Quake Live have done is to transplant Quake III into a Mozilla Firefox/Internet Explorer friendly game that is exactly the same as the 1999 release by id Software.
If you happen [...]
