I seriously doubt the current generation of netbooks have the horsepower to run graphics intensive applications and games since they give up power for portability, but some of the higher-end notebooks and laptops, especially those touted as desktop replacements, should be able to handle gaming applications.
heh heh....i only play facebook games. :oops: so acer can?
Originally posted by jetta:Funny you should ask. I was just at Best Buy. They have a free magazine which I was leafing through. One of the articles was on netbooks and gaming. They say that netbooks aren't made for gaming. Do you have a Best Buy in Canada? I bought a cheapie Acer lappie for gaming several months ago. Only cost me $298!
yah we have best buy too. saw the acer ad for C$299. tempted to buy....just to play fb games nia. :oops: u tink good enough?

If all you're playing are just FB games, then any netbook should suffice. Just bear in mind that using the tiny keyboard might get fatiguing after a while.
Any particular model you're looking at?

Forgot to say that I have the Acer Aspire. It's become a gaming and surfing lappie and more than good enough.

wei wei wei.....simi simi?
on a diff note, this week i am a ONE-man band. boss is on march break, the other chap left the dept so we are awaiting replacement. so, it's JUST poor me.........ALONE....so, i HAVE to be in the office ALL week........boo hoo hoo~~~~
Alone in the offit, shiok what.... Shake leg, sing song.
You'll be surprised when I tell you this. I got my transfer approved March 7th and the receiving store has no record of my transfer! What makes matters interesting is that Sears personnel resolution is now in India of all places! India tells me I won't be in the receiving store's system until the 17th. WTH?? So I'm sitting home, shaking legs and singing songs.
You sure you don't want to get the Acer?
i lost my ic over the weekend, so this morning i called singapore embassy in washington.
they transferred my call to someone that could 'help' me. but she is TOTALLY USELESS. I asked her what should i do, se say go to ica website and check, everything is listed. then i said ica website says i must make a police report and go down in person to ica within 14 days of it going missing. i told her it is ridiculous, cause how to get air ticket at this time, besides it will cost a bomb, and i have to attend school.. then she just keeps saying, sorry miss, we cant do anything here, you got to fly back to singapore within 14 days.
i got so pissed off, i told her i want to speak to her supervisor. Her supervisor said i can make police report here and wait till i go back home to make my ic.
sorry for the rant. SPOIL MY DAY SIAL.

i've the already dated lenovo S10 that i've been using for over a year. love the compact size as i lug it around with me alot when i travel. for playing FB games is more than enough la...
if you find the netbook keyboard too small...can just hook up to a wireless keyboard/mouse at home (which is exactly what i do). you can also hook it up to a big size screen if you want to....

no lah, i don't lug lappie around. if i go on long drives, maybe i'll take my portable dvd player. in any case, i only plays fb games when i have time. u know lah. without domestic help, one leg kick at home also. time no enough. work lah, household chores lah, cook lah, school lah, game lah, karaoke lah, party lah, sleep lah....kekeke :P thanks tho' ;-)
I'll think about catching that movie. Too busy gaming. When I get bored with bejewelled, I head over to Viwawa to play Groword or Sushido. Do you play the same games too?
My friend at work called yesterday apologizing profusely for making me wait so long to start at her store. Oh well. It leaves me more time to garden and play games. lol
woohoo...........i made an online purchase yesterday and the exchange was : C$1 = 97 US cents. woohoo~~~ :)
Whoa! Sweet! How much was shipping though? A bajillion bucks?
kekeke.......no shipping. it was to buy SUPERBRIE cheese on MouseHunt :oops:
Hahah!!!!
In other news... if I hear one more radio plug for that stupid Ovations shampoo, I'll scream!!!!
And I finally caught Alice in Wonderland. I loved the visuals, so rich! Tickets are so expensive though, $8.25 for a matinee and that's with a discount. The next movie we're going to catch is Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. Has anyone caught that one yet?
erm, me not cinema-goer. no like crowds or maybe no like people. :P hahaha i prefer to watch movies in the comfort of my basement. ;-) can pause, take toilet breaks, have a snack, rewind, blah blah blah...... $8.25 still okay ah. over here is about C$11 depending if u go cineplex or famous players. but tuesdays ish half price. simi percy jackson? i wanna watch green zone. matt damon. ;-)
This was a splurge. The kids had an early day off so I took them to the movies. We usually go to the drive in. Only $6 for 2 movies. Best of all, is heading to the base where all movies are free. The only catch is that they don't have the latest movies. Doesn't matter to me but you know how some teens are. Sometimes we rent off TV but haiz, lousy selection.
NEEDS to rant..........
ARGHHHH......when is the blardy replacement coming in????? :x :x i keep having to come into the orpid!!!!! :x :x :x
*exhales* okay, feels better. :P
Earth Hour tomorrow : anyone doing their part? me ish going to walk around in darkness. ;-)

Still in appliances but but but this time at another store and it's harder! I also have to learn about washers, dryers, refrigerators, vacuums, humidifiers, dehumidifiers and mattresses. OMG I'm sooo dead.
Yesterday was strangely busy. Had no time for my 15 min break. Dealing with customer issues. Grrr. I'm not scheduled today so I'm going to spend the morning on my embroidery machine making new inventory for a craft fair next month. I'll be working 8 hours tomorrow. You know retail lah, come the weekend, flood the floor.
