Re: Netbooks and winSPMBT?
Finally got the Advent 4211 (MSI wind clone from Dixons Group - Dixons, Currys, PC world etc).
The 4211 seems to be exactly the same as the MSI wind, but about 40 quid cheaper. No slip case provided with it (I think the wind has one in the box), no other differences I can spot.
Battery is the 3 cell one, and gives 2 hours ( a little more if you set the power saving mode on) - but 6 cell ones should be coming around Xmas time. 2 hours is better than the old IBM Thinkpad I used to have anyway, and the 1 kg weight is miles better!.
I dropped a copy of the game over on the wireless network, set it to windowed 1024 mode and it plays just fine on the 1024 by 600 screen.
I'll need a mini travelling mouse to play the game properly - the trackpad is no use for precision work, but that is the case for anything other than web browsing or word processing anyhow. I like it far more than the stiff-stick the old thinkpad had buried in the middle of the keyboard.
Cheers
Andy
