P1999 on Netbooks

[Bummey]

Has anyone played this on a macbook air? I've got an "old" 11 inch 2012 model and it would be nice/terrible to play/waste time when I'm away from my desktop, or just being lazy on the couch.

I routinely use a Surface Pro 1 to play EQ. My buddy irl has a drawing tablet hybrid he plays other games on that is relatively small.

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.

Thanks for the tip about this, grabbed one from Amazon for 199 with no sales tax.
Pretty much all the reviews I read about this say it's a rugged beast and it looks like pretty much the only notebook at this price point with upgradable hard drive, RAM, and running Windows instead of Chrome. It will be a lot easier to carry an 11.6" for school and I can dual boot Windows and Ubuntu on it.

Gonna sell the Alienware and the proceeds should be enough to cover this laptop and the RX 480 I'm gonna put in my desktop when they drop later this month.

You mean its a tablet that can also be a crappy laptop. Comparing that to this laptop that has more RAM, more storage space, running windows and the ability to not break being dropped 2 feet off the ground is silly.

Tablets are dumb and touchscreens are for phones [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] And unless I'm mistaken after cursory Googling, those Transformers are running Android

Dropped it several times. This is more like a laptop that could be a tablet if you wanted. I have never personally detached it to be a tablet because I prefer using a keyboard. And it runs windows, but you'd know that if you had a brian.

ROFL you are incredibly mistaken.

It runs on 32-bit Windows which is the reason it's 100% superior to the Surface. I went through this internal struggle over a year ago. Asus running stronk.
