Acer Aspire One Windows XP (changed from bundled failix version). Onboard graphics adaptor,
Can run Apoc, wouldnt undock in lowsec or while at war, but fine for bimbling around in highsec, changing skills or altering market orders.
Cant open corp hangers because the corp hanger button is at the bottom of the station panel which i cannot make small enough to fit on my screen. Theres probably a shortcut somewhere, never looked. We come for our people |

Netbooks are not made for gaming. They are for net surfing and using small applications like text processors. Nothing as intensive as modern 3D game will run on currently released netbooks...

This is true right now - but everyone wants their cake AND to eat it. Dell do 1920x1200 screens in 15" now. I bet it won't be long before netbooks have enough power to run the simpler games, and screens good enough to see them (as long as you have perfect eyesight!). -- DEVS get multiple CPUs/Cores per system and all will be forgiven.

Yeah, I will want one of those too eventually, but I'm more interested in hearing about people running EVE on netbooks now. I also have a sneaking suspicion that the ion while being awesome will be defeated in the "cheap alternative" to notebooks category.

See, that's informative. Congrats on being the first one to manage and follow the format.

1. Samsung NC10 2. Windows XP Home 3. Intel 950GM 4. Yes 5. I'd say mission running/small scale PvP would be possible. Even at minimum graphics the game is a bit sluggish. But what do you expect from a Intel Atom notebook? 9h battery 4tw though.

1. Dell Mini 9 2. Windows XP SP3 3. Intel GMA950 4. Yes 5. Upgraded to 2GB of RAM. I wouldn't want to PvP or do much on this really, it's fine for light use of the market/changing skills though.

1. MSI Wind U-100 2. Windows XP 3. Intel GMA950 4. Yes 5. Runs at around 4-5 FPS, more if i enable turbo mode and use GMA booster (adds about 3 or 4 FPS. Used to get 18 FPS on the Classic client, with a peak of 25ish FPS when using Turbo Mode and GMA booster. :(

how? the top bar im using to drag the station window wont go above the top of the screen because the mouse cant move out of view, and i cant shrink the window any more. or are you saying that i can detatch parts of that window? We come for our people |

Same setup as this, runs with an average of 10-20fps just flitting around high sec space...
Definitely wouldn't go and play in low/no sec! --------------

The last few mini patches have introduced LOD-Detail and a few other things, now Premium runs better then the old Classic Engine most of the time.
The below was all done on a Net-Book, so yes NetBooks are PvP viable. PvP kill board stats February awards page March awards page
I'd get a cooler pad for your netbook, as premium engine runs notably warmer then the old classic.
I wont lie, one time I did EvE on the bog, just to expriance pure ignorant blis.
Only gripe is the 1024x600 really, you get used to it but it is TrTz restricting.

HP Mini link to page, hopefully
Intel atom 1gb ram / 16gb ssd.
Runs eve well enough to change skills and read mail. Something like 2-3 fps, less while spinning ship in station.
Seriously, though, in ways other than "playing eve", it's a fantastic netbook. The keyboard is godly. --

Not true. I got an Acer One A150, works like a charm. Can mine, do my industrial thingys and actually rat with the little bugger.
So, they can be used for simpler tasks in EVE.

EVE really is not that resource intensive, so yes, simple activities can be done with a netbook. Just put copy of EVE on a usb flash drive, and you're set.

I don't want to try to derail from the current thread at all, but after reading what everyone has been talking about netbooks it brings me to an interesting thought.
Netbooks seem to be a flash in the pan, in my eyes. Everyone is talking about them, they're small and they check email and what not. Even with them taking away the current market share, the simple fact is they are highly restrictive despite technological advances forward to make better components into a small box. There is only so much you can do with a 10" screen or smaller, and I do not believe that they are going to stick around for long.
I may sound ignorant, but this is coming from personal experience. When I visit my parent's house, they have a Netbook which I sometimes use to check my email. It is a bricky little thing but it has an awkward keyboard and a half-resolution screen. It seems to me like developers have attempted to merge Mobile/Portable OS with a full desktop/laptop OS and the results are laughable.
I dunno why I'm saying all this. Maybe it's just because they seem to be so "cool" or something, but I would very much rather have a portable laptop with high end everything rather than something I can flop into my backpack. Because laptops are not made as desktop replacements, and netbooks are even more geared from becoming just an "email box", why don't you just use your cell phone to check your mail?
Just my thoughts.

Just my thoughts.
They're slightly more than an 'e-mail box' and, in my experience, are nothing like you've described above.
They're what laptops should always have been, something small and light which are capable of doing almost as much as a desktop machine. Other than games and high-end applications then this little Dell Mini 9 (yes, I am sitting on my sofa, watching TV, using my netbook to reply to your post) can do as much as my desktop machine.
I also use it for work (I refuse to lug around the 17" Dell Latitude that I was provided with) and it can run the full MS Office suite I need for that, as well as utilising all the web-apps which are required for work.
I do use my mobile phone for e-mails and web (iPhone since you asked) and it does a very good job, but it's nowhere near as versatile as my netbook.
I wouldn't consider this to be a replacement for my desktop machine, but rather a complimentary machine which allows me to be much more portable, something that a high end laptop wouldn't allow because it's just too big and too heavy.

So im still confused.
I usually run EVE on my old-calculator desktop rig: p4, fx5200 and 1GB, at 1024x768. Crappy resolution for eve online massive windows and space needs, but I handle it.
im sure this computer is not much better than current netbooks, so im wondering will I play decently with one? For example this one: HP Mini 701
Some of you are talking of 2-3fps lmao, thats not playable. Of course I dont pretend to PVP or something, just relatively safe tasks such as mining, some mission, transport stuff, and so.

That's the netbook that I have. I'm typing this on it right now.
It will "play eve", but as I said before - 2-5 fps, and only enough to check evemail / change skills / market orders / etc. I wouldn't undock with it. I guess you could afk ship some stuff in empire, but I wouldn't mine or rat or pvp with it. Also, keep in mind, an eve install is 2GB or so. You only have 16gb of space on the drive total (SSD). After windows, office 2007, and a few small utilities, plus turning hibernate on (which makes the laptop go from off to usable in about 6 seconds), you're down to about 8GB.
But it's a fantastic notebook. I mean, I have a desktop for playing games. This thing is fantastically portable and extremely light. You should check it out in person - they have one on display at the best buy near me.
To the guy that said netbooks are a flash in the pan - I don't think so. I think the entire thing is in its infancy. I wish I had a slightly higher resolution screen, and that the graphics were better. Both of these things are coming - I think that a 10" netbook could probably have 1440x900 today, except that it would drive the cost up. Once that nvidia combined chipset/graphics/mobo thing comes out, you'll be able to do high def movies and stuff on them. Then there will be a great rumble in the portable computer market.
