    Hey guys, new member here!

    I'm interested in purchasing Asus' new tablet/slate, the ASUS Eee Slate EP121 (link: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Eee- ASUS Eee Slate EP121 ). There have been reviews showing that it runs some games exceptionally well, and others moderately/poorly.
    My biggest concern is pertaining to the game League of Legends - will the EP121 run it smoothly? On at least medium settings?

    It has an Intel i5 470UM - the integrated graphics is the Intel HD GMA 166-500 MHz.

    A quick response would be appreciated as it decides whether or not I will be making this purchase! Please and thanks :D

    Short answer... No, low definitely, medium probably not

    "Low-end graphics cards for users who want to play games. New games should run on these cards, but only with low details and mediocre resolution. The power consumption (of modern cards in this class) should lead to a good battery life.

    Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics: Onboard graphics card that is built in the new Arrandale CPUs (Core i3 / i5 / i7 Dual Cores). Depending on the model and Turbo Boost, the GMA HD is clocked between 166 and 766 MHz."


    I would recommend a Gt520m at least to play @ medium settings fluidly.
