Good day dear eve community. I am considering purchasing a net-book because carrying around a gaming rig on a bike is a main in the ass and the back. So, trying not to spend excessive amount of money, I set my eye on hp-dm1 pavilion-something unpronouncable.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HP-Pavilion-dm1-4027ea-11-6-Laptop-Silver-4GB-320GB-/180758803812?pt=UK_Computing_Laptops_EH&hash=item2a16107564
Now, I am spesifically looking at a fusion notebook with e-450 because those things have the best performance out of all budget ultraportables in terms of grafics. If anyone ever used Fusion/Zacate/Nvidia Ion for eve, please tell me how it runs on those machines. I would appreshiate if you could post fps you get, setting and conditions (200 men fleet battle or ship spinning?). I know it woun't replace a proper gaming rig, but if i can log in and run a mission or smth while i am bored in starbucks. that would be nice. |

I don't know for sure... But you will not enjoy games on it. You will deplete batteries fast. You will have sucky internet options.
I launched eve on a netbook - eve felt sucky. |

I tried EVE on a ION 1 system my father has. Worked pretty ok.
However I no longer believe Ion or Ion 2 has enough oomph to run EVE anything close to normal after the next expansion.
I would consider the E-450 about minimal in my opinion. However I can't provide any real world info for you as I do not have this core yet.
However. For the netbook range I doubt there is a better system for EVE. Next stop is the AMD A-series which cost significantly more. |

I could probably afford one of them, but they are all in 15 inch laptops, that's not a replacement for netbook in terms of portability. So that leaves me with Intel, which are excellent cpu's but their graphics is ****, i would have to get like an high-end i7 for the in-built graphics to be acceptable, and that's just stupid.
If you find a 11-12 inch laptop withing a simular pricerange with a GPU or a A-series, please link it. Tell me how it ran on the ION. THe next expansion should nto put much extra strain on the grafics, and i don;t need it for walking around my closet... I mean, quarters. |

The thought of playing anything other than check-my-email on a netbook makes me want to claw my eyes out.
It. Would. Be. Awful! |

posting from an E350 with a Radeon 4250. Basically a 300$ notebook. It will run, you can even go into a fleet battle with brackets off. However be prepared to cook you hot dog if you know what I mean. How to build a PC for EVE thread (by Akira T) http://eve-search.com/thread/1559734-0/page/1

I was in the same boat, wanted a netbook size machine that would game acceptably. In the end there was really only one choice and I saved my pennies for a year to get it.
Alienware M11x
Yes it's pricey, but I can play anything I want on it. It is slightly heavier and bulkier than a net book. Mine is the i5 processor and 8 gigs of RAM. I found it on the Dell outlet as a refurb for about $400 less than retail. I run Eve at full settings on it no issue and I love the backlit keyboard (I have the silly flashing stuff turned off) |

I have one Asus EeePC with e-350 and it sucks. I use it when I'm in toilet(like now) and doing some forum warrioring. You can do basic stuff with it in EVE but if I were you, I would buy a decent laptop .
PS.Don't buy Asus, all you get is broken mousepad and bad design.. what you think next will happen now |

minimum settings, but you can turn turrets and effects on for smaller things. But if you are small fleet fighting you are going to drop a series of frames How to build a PC for EVE thread (by Akira T) http://eve-search.com/thread/1559734-0/page/1

It's close to netbook size but my work tablet plays eve well. I can dual box without lag. HP 2760p. I wouldn't say you need this exact computer but it is a good spec to look at. |

I bought that thing off amazon due to good return policy, i will check it out and see if it satisfies my needs. |
