![]() So I've been checking out the HP Stream 11 and it looks like a decent little throwaway laptop for 150-200 bucks. Could be convenient for couch-based Everquesting.
Anyone have firsthand experience playing P99 on tiny laptops with shitty processors like N2840, N3050, Atoms? Basically anything cheaper than a core i3? I'm not expecting greatness, just wanna know if this old-ass game and maybe like some 2-dollar Steam specials are playable. edit for bonus question: What about installing Ubuntu, wine, and p99 on Chromebooks? Toshiba Chromebook 2 looks p legit for reference, I had a ~$300 laptop from 2011 with an AMD E-350 APU, and it was satisfactory enough performance for me to dual-box (on live) | ||

![]() If you want a tiny Laptop look at this https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-11e-11.../dp/B017BX510W
Display isnt all that great but if your just playing EQ it will be fine. Everything else about it is great including the rugged build. I got it for 200 over black friday so it could drop down to that again this fall.

![]() I'm aware of the relative case build quality between manufacturers, but that's not really what I'm asking. Specifically I want to know about performance on entry-level mobile chipsets, which don't really differ from one mfr to another.

![]() Look on Newegg for refurbished laptops. I was able to get a 2nd gen i5 and a SSD for $200. Looks brand new too. If you search for Dell Latitude E6420 on Newegg there's tons of them.

I mean unless you are deadset on not spending 50 extra dollars to get a quad core CPU and better graphics card then you would on a netbook.
