    This looks perfect to me for an ultra-thin notebook (looks very like a netbook in proportions, though). It uses the HD3200 + Neo x2, like the Ferrari One but without the obnoxious paint and premium for the name. Anyone know anything about when these are coming out?

    Here is the link where I saw it, and it was specifically called an X-430.

    If it uses the HD 3200,I wouldnt call it perfect. Sure,its more powerful than a 4500,but you cant really game on it either,and im sure it has worse battery life.

    I have a desktop and a 17" laptop if I want to game - I am just interested in something netbook sized that doesn't cost a fortune and is more powerful than 4500, not to mention at least with ATI/nVidia you get real drivers.

    IGP is the only thing you got on a netbook :)

    also between classes or at lunch during work I wouldn't mind getting on lotro and in the future sw tor and getting a few quests done or whatever.

    Go up to 13 inch, look for the lgp310, now thats a gaming mini platform.

    As for netbooks, you have xgp tech popping up :) VIDOCK! lol.

    so there you go .


    It be nice to dream though. I just want something to play lotro and then sw tor and a hand full of older games. Most games predate half life 2. So i think i'm good with either an ion or hd 3200 on those , its sw tor i'm worried about.
