Im thinking about buying a netbook

maybe this one

but i want to be able to play GW on it

I dont need max settings or anything close to it really ( i have a desktop for that) but just something convenient to play while im layin in bed

if not that one anyone find one that would be good im trying to keep it under $550

the intel gma 950 can run gw from wut i hear

im slightly worried bout the cpu
but i think it should be able to run it
not run it terribly well
but at least run it

oh and u can get laptops for roughly ~$500
the differences between the netbook will mostly likely only be screen size and resolution
and a better cpu

well i specifically want a netbook

no netbook will have a dedicated graphics card (at least for now)
so thats bout as good as it will get

some my have a slightly faster cpu speed or an extra gig of ram
but those r smaller improvements in performance
and only worth it if u feel like spending the extra $$$$

The Intel GMA 950 will have problems with some areas of GW. Other than that, I think the game can run at lower settings. You can be our tester - let us know how it goes.

P.s. - In the tests I've seen, the Acer has come out the best, or one of the best.

My laptop has similar specs to that, maybe even less. It runs GW completely fine on low settings and can even handle full graphics in some areas.
