    GTA4 = HELL NO
    The CPU and GPU would both crawl into a hole and die.
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=445531 Note that the T61p is choking on GTA4 as it is, and it has a substantially more powerful CPU and GPU.


    Sims 3 might work, seeing as to how you can run it on the single atom and GMA500. Note however, that this experience is choppy. You should see improvement since the 1201n is a fair bit faster.

    ya gtaiv is a bit to much for this netbook but the other games you listed might play but problee with the settings on low.

    but the 1201n can pretty play all the games out there just have to turn the settings down sometimes.

    if you go into the 1201n thread and check out my posts there you could see what games i play on it which is a good bit like section 8 lol played fine with the settings down l4ds decent and hl2 really playable with the settings on almost high and all games i play at native res seems like it can handle that.

    i also just tried mini ninjas which i thought it would choke on it but it played it really good with everything maxed :)

    that's pretty much why i got the 1201n for on the go gaming which does that for me :) instead of keep taking my g50vt-x5 everyday.. lol

    have to remember this is still a 12.1 netbook :) if you want to game better have to get a bigger laptop with a better cpu and gpu.

    but this netbook can still game and does a good job for a netbook :)

    also the oblivion bench doesn't seem right sense i get more fps than that at native res 1366x768 and some sliders up. unless they testing min fps ony.

    but my fps is like 20s and does go in the teens but for sure doesn't stay there and its like 40s and up inside

    If you want something small that can handle games O.K. at least look at the UL30vt. It costs a lot more ($800 vs $500) and weighs a bit more. But you are getting a machine with about twice the CPU, graphics and battery life. Most likely you will be able to use it for more years and get better use out of it while you have it.

    The UL30vt performs identically to the ul80vt listed in the link above:

    ul30vt is very expensive in my country !!
    another option is lenovo g450 ( http://shopap.lenovo.com/SEUILibrar...-category-id=559CA420B13440C18C1510E0BFE33D01)

    but i find 1201n more intersting,i think its cpu needs more power in gaming..
