many who need a ultrapotable sized CULV laptop mainly use it out doors for web browsing and office work which require no video cards.
if you are getting a portable laptop for HD video playing or 3D gaming, i'd recommend a 13inch regular laptop such as the vaio SR or S]]>Jan 28th 2010 7:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/gateways-dvd-playin-ec14d-netbook-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/gateways-dvd-playin-ec14d-netbook-spotted-in-the-wild/
If you want an 11.6" laptop with gaming level graphics go buy the Alienware M11x. Its not like the Engadget article on the thing is that far away (hint, its the one before this).]]>Jan 28th 2010 9:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/gateways-dvd-playin-ec14d-netbook-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/gateways-dvd-playin-ec14d-netbook-spotted-in-the-wild/
Ion 2 graphics aren't "gaming level", and that Alienware you linked offers only 1 1/2 hours less of battery life than this. If it was packing an Ion instead of the G T335M it would offer even more battery, so no, putting an Ion 2 in the Gateway would not "kill" the battery at all]]>Jan 28th 2010 9:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/gateways-dvd-playin-ec14d-netbook-spotted-in-the-wild/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/gateways-dvd-playin-ec14d-netbook-spotted-in-the-wild/
