Thats like a portable computer with games and total internet access.

But can it play guild wars, or yugioh online or even 9dragons?

I beleive that if a portable system was able to play the major MMORPG then it would be well worth spending the money, I personally would pay $1000 bucks just for something like that lol :-|

I know that it has all internet access, but for games I am not sure, I know you can upgrade the hard drive, so I assume you can. If you want one that is better (but way more expensie) I can post info about that 1 2. I think that 1 you can play games on.

8 or 16GB would be adequite for a couple games and the OS.

The trick is going to be the need for ATI or Nvidia graphics chipsets with 128 mb of video ram and 512MB main ram for minimal online gaming. 256mb graphics and 1GB main ram would be ideal. Intel chipset aint gunna cut it for gaming.

would that be for laptop use or main desktop? and can you get more for your gaming purpose with either of them running as a networking pruposal?
