For those of you who bought a 1201N, are you happy with your purchase?

I've been hesitant to pick one up but I have been eyeing one since December.

All I really want is something "on the go" for the following:

Diablo II
StarCraft
WarCraft III
Titan's Quest
TorchLight
Knights of the Old Replublic (I and II)
ScummVM (Sam & Max, Day of the Tentacle, The Dig, etc.)
Plants vs. Zombies
World of Goo
Sam & Max (Seasons 1 & 2)

As well as Internet and DivX/XviD.

The new Pine Trail netbooks just don't do it for me; the GMA 3150 is painfully weak and the 1024x600 resolution cap is aggrevating.

What is the "real world" battery life on on the 1201N? ASUS claims 5 hours + but would it be more like 2-2.5 hours?

Thanks.

 

im pretty much happy with mine

be even more happier if ups would drop off the new ram and hdd tomarlo... been a week so far and i did 2day shipping and they keep delaying it...


but ya it does everything i wanted it too do and what that is gaming on the go

i think you be happy with it sense it should have no problems playing those games in your list but ony game that will be a bit slow is Titan's Quest sense i tried it on mine but i was surprised it was playable sense its really hard on cpu.

diablo 2 works good

plants vs zombies also works good

same with world of goo.

don't have any others in that list but im sure they will play fine.

sense i play really heavy games like mass effects bioshock and on lol



for battery life i say it can get close too 5 hours or maybe over it if you put everything in power save and brightness pretty low.

but full power i get around 3hours and 45min close to 4 but doing heavy stuff like gaming i say around 2hours and a half too 3hours which too me is pretty good but it would've been nice too have a bit more.

and im sure there's gonna be aftermarket battery's so that should give it a nice battery boost


you should look on youtube and look at the gaming videos for the 1201n that would give you a good idea how it performs .

 

The real question is... can it play StarCraft II and Diablo III?

 

it might never know im sure it can if it can play bioshocks 1 and 2 all the mmos pretty much and i even tried company of heroes and it was playable lol sure it can get slow but good for on the go gaming.
