I just bought this netbook this week and installed EVE. On full screen, lowest detail settings, the average FPS is 30-40 during standard flight, 20 in the starmap, and 10 during combat (NPC deadspace) and orbiting Rens tradehub station (15-20 ships). Actually not too bad for non-dangerous activities.

I bought this netbook and I should be receiving it this afternoon. I seen someone running EVE on this netbook and didn't appear to have a problem with. I can't say about the dense trade hubs like Rens or Jita. I'll let you know once I have the game installed.

It works flawlessly, not considering some bugs in game itself.If dx9 problem occurs, refer to http://steamcommunity.com/app/47810/discussions/0/558751812749741621/I didn't have such problem but some does.Enjoy!

Faster than what?You should be able to play without a problem. It depends on your graphics card though. I overclocked mine without any issues too. It is an old processor now. Hard to find motherboards for it.

My computer won't let me access the completecranium web site, says it's an "attack web site." Anyone experience problems on that web site? My kids loves this game, but right now we're looking for both a new key and new balls for it. Very cheaply made.

I ran the FSX demo (in Windows Bootcamp), worked very well. Of course you won't be able to run it on full specs, no notebook out there can do that. But for a notebook, I was pretty impressed. But if you are on a mac anyway, you should consider X-Plane 9. It is much more realistic and the graphics have really been beefed up from the previous release. You can download a demo also to check it out. I had all the Flight Simulator resleases since 1998, but am dissapointed with FSX, it just is too cartoony and unrealistic. I am now hooked on X-Plane!

My guy has played Starcraft on it and says it runs slower/the graphics were better on his old gaming computer, but he added a graphics card and it runs smoothly now. But no, I would not recommend this computer for gaming as is.

Hi! I am not sure, but the netbook runs ok several programs at the same time, so maybe u have to check the game's requirements.

Aloha... out of curiosity... anybody owning this particular netbook willing to log into www.pogo.com and let me know if you can play games in a normal fashion... reason, in need of a portable computer, would like to know if i can actually play online at pogo before spending the money... and finding out later its to small of a screen to handle their gaming environment. Living in hawaii has its downside... not a lot of retailers where i can test these things out for myself. Mahalo

I bought it a long time ago and it didn't run on mine, either. But I recently saw it on Steam for a ridiculously low price, downloaded it and had no problems whatsoever. And I am still on Windows 7. Maybe it is something else with your system? Their support is pretty good. I think it lists the requirements on the game's page. I am just about to finish the second one...and my computer crashed. I hope I can fix it but if I have to play the second one from the top, I will. Both are great. The second is even better than the first.

Plugged it in and it said it wasn't fast enough to run games... though it seems to run the one game (risk factions) I did put on it and stores my profile. Waiting to see if there are any other drawbacks.

I purchased this computer not too long ago and this computer is a beast. She's run every game i've thrown at her. You can definitely play Nether and LoL, without a doubt. It runs Guild Wars 2 perfectly, even on it's highest settings. I've had no problems with it what-so-ever!

I haven't played either of those games. I believe it would work fine though. I usually play online mmorpgs and have had no trouble with any of them. I've played DDO, Star Trek, EVE, Star Wars The Old Republic and Lord of the Rings Online. I've also played World of Tanks and World of Warplanes. I rarely experience any problems at all with any of those games. I hope this answer helps you.

I actually went ahead and got this laptop and have been playing it on StarCraft 2, so idk about B. Chans issue as my Asus X1 has been running StarCraft 2 just fine.As others said though, my real only complaint with this laptop so far is the amount of crap I had to uninstall when I first got it, so much bloatware.

1) Nope. I personally just downloaded the latest drivers from NVIDIA's website and it works fine. I thought it didn't at first, because the first thing I ran was Furmark to stress test it, and the second GPU wasn't working with it. However, it works fine in all my games. Runs like a champ! 2) There is a lot of CD burning software, McAfee (if you don't care for it), and a few miscellaneous things. I pretty much took off everything with the exception of a few Lenovo things (OneKey Recovery, Veriface, EasyCamera). Just go to Control Panel and uninstall them from there. Other than that, you should be fine.

As a matter of fact, I do. I've been playing an MMO as well was a few emulator and Minecraft games and it works extremely well. It's got a lot of graphic options for the graphic card it comes with so I'm able to adjust accordingly, though the default setting work perfectly fine for me. It runs very smoothly and I don't seem to have any latency or lag (except you know the occasional internet hiccup).

1. Ours came with 15 months of online access. I'm not sure why you got only 3. 2. You look on their schedule and pick the earliest available time. Sometimes that's in a day or two, and sometimes it's not until a week or two away. I don't know about doing it more often, since we actually never got around to doing this. 3. I loved the online games, but I rarely played them against other people. As far as I know, you can't speak to the other players. I just remember trying to identify things more quickly by typing their names. Mostly I played on my own. The best one for me involved listening to stories and clicking words as you heard them. The words are arranged in a grid, and you try to make a "bingo." I listened to some of the stories over and over during the course of the year, and I definitely got better at parsing what they said. Understanding came even later, but I had to begin with just making sense of this flow of unfamiliar sounds. I'm afraid I can't look up the answers for you. We came across a big downside of the program: you only get two installs for $800. So when you have two hard drive crashes (in the month before we left for Italy -- and then we got a new computer, and *it's* new drive crashed within a week!) you're out of luck. It was very frustrating to suddenly lose our program. Several times while we were in Italy, I thought of times I would have liked to look something up or practice something on RS that came up in a conversation in the real world. But, no, the company was too concerned that we would give it away to all our friends, so we couldn't use it anymore after the computer trouble.

This is a good computer and facebook games do not demand much from a PC from a technical stand point, so technically, a cheaper $300 netbook will do the trick there. If you want actual gaming (Counter Strike, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, F.E.A.R. ETC) then you need a different PC since this one has very limited upgrades due to it's small/compact size. If you need a strong Notebook/Laptop for gaming, go with a 15" alienware/dell or a 15' HP
