    I know that this notebook I have that is like a netbook is lower end but just wondering what kind of games can this play? Like any low demanding games like WoW, The Sims 3, Guild Wars 2, etc?


    I had this netbook for 5 months and I have a HP 10-e010nr.



    Specs:

    AMD A4-1200 APU (1 GHz, 1 MB cache, 2 cores)

    On-board 2 GB 1066 MHz DDR3L

    320GB 5400RPM hard drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection

    AMD Radeon™ HD 8180 graphics with up to 896MB total graphics memory

    Windows 8.1 64bit

    10.1" diagonal HD11 LED-backlit touch screen (1366 x 768)






    I was wondering if you could list games that would run on this notebook.

    Does anyone know? Like are WoW, The Sims 3, StarCraft 2 considered low demanding games? If not what are? Also if I play older games won't it not work well right Windows 8.1? Someone said that I should play games made around 2005 and that time Windows XP was out so won't Windows XP games won't work well with newer Windows like Windows 8 or 8.1? Or does any games work on newer OS? Since this is still new computer I would assume it can run undemanding games that are made today right? If so what kinds are there? Thanks

    Probably should play this games on absolutely minimum settings... This isn't really for gaming..

    While I was playing around with that netbook in a store a few weeks ago, it had issues opening Skype...

    AMD mobile CPU's are such a joke.. AMD makes good GPU's but they should be ashamed about how bad their mobile CPU's are... They really need to invest in some R&D for this...
