Default Re: OT: Need advice with Laptop

I'm shamelessly hijacking this thread, but it sounds like some technical people are interested in offering advice and I have a similar question.

My problem is that my computing is solar/wind powered and during the winter I have more free time to use a computer but not nearly enough power. The laptop I'm using is a bit of power hog (oink oink) at ~45 watts to play Dom3 and although I could beef (or pork) up my power system, the low power netbook may be the least expensive way to facilitate my addiction.

I have 3 criteria:

1) Must be graphically capable of running Dominions 3.
2) Must run Linux or BSD (probably a given).
3) Low power consumption (~10 watts?).

If anyone out there is running Dom3 on a netbook even with Windows, please tell me about it.

Thanks!
