http://www.shootinggameswithblood.com
A fun technology blog!




Netbook spec:
1.4GHz intel core 2 solo
2GB 800Mhz RAM
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
intel 4500mhd

Game settings:
All low, 800*480

Playability:
Very playable, can be playable at higher resolutions, but from time to time will stutter a bit. Quite stable at the above settings at about 20 - 30 fps (fraps). Some strange things going on with objects in the distance getting fogged out from time to time.

Any requests of games to play on this netbook? Just ask!

this is episode 1, not episode 2! u thought we were blind? (:

[QuietZorg]

@TheSpyChecker No, as youtube is not much use to the blind community! An honest mistake, and i'm sure E2 would have near similar performance.

Thankyou for noting this, but I am to lazy to change the title :/

is the keyboard silent?

[QuietZorg]

I would consider it to be more quiet than loud. It is certainly not loud (..well relative to my sis's toshiba) . It is quieter than a xpsm1330 , and about the same / slightly quieter than a acer eee 1000.

I use it in bed, when others are sleeping, i use it in college lectures, and in library, and it does not seem to cause disturbances.

But it is certainly not silent .. (is any keyboard?)

I ordered a Vostro V13 with a core 2 solo at 1,4 Ghz, 2 gig of ram DDR3, 800 mghz front bus with the 4500 hd. Do you think I can play Unreal tournament 2004 on that?

[QuietZorg]

I would say so, perhaps med settings. Ut2004 is actually one of the games I plan to try out on my acer 1410 , but. Can't remember the password for it :-( I I get it going, I'll let u know!

@QuietZorg umm well, not exactly..while on my netbook, hl 2 runs at great 50 fps (n10j) ep 1 performs 30...while ep 2 on open surfaces produces 20......anyways, not much of a thing, really :D just noticed :'D

[Lavabug]

Does the 1810tz perform better than the 1410 at games?

[Lavabug]

Does half life 2 play better on this 1410 than netbooks that have Nvidia ion graphics?

I'm torn between an acer 1410 and an asus 1201N, which one will run Half Life 2 and its mods better?

[matus201]

i finished all half-life episodes on acer 1410 (same specs as you have) and it was playable. Original half-life 2 is playable even on 1080p HDMI HD screen.. :D

I love this netbook. especially the 8 hours (10 with lowest brightness) battery life :)

I run UT 2004 without a problem on my Vostro V13!
