Asus 1215N runs Starcraft 2, Modern Warfare, Bad Company and others

A post written by Andrew | No Comments »

Hey guys. With the Asus 1215N on its way soon, I’m sure you all want to know if this machine can actually play some games.

Well, Mike At netbooklive.net tested a couple of games on this machine, including Starcraft 2, Annon 1404, Fifa 10, Call of Dury Modern Warfare 2 and Battlefield bad Company 2. What’s the verdict? Well, better see for yourself.

I’ve only got the clip with the SC2 experience, you can see it below.

As you saw, the game is playable. That’s a 4 player map and a 2×2 game, with quite developed bases and a couple of tens of units for each player. And you still get around 20 fps on average, on 1280 x 720 px resolution, with medium details. Sounds good for me. OK, that’s not enough if you want instant and ultra precise response for your actions (like a Pro player would), but remember that the 1215N is not actually a gaming laptop, but an Atom powered computer.

Still, it is the best gaming netbook on the market right now. And you do have to consider the fact that drivers are still immature, thus performance will improve when we’ll see some improved drivers from Asus. And we should soon, as this device already sells on some European countries and should soon land in UK, De and US.
