11-12 fps isn’t exactly what I would consider playable.

Your flash video doesn’t recognize Adobe Flash version 10 (which I have installed on my PC).

To Nobody, Jspider, Corto:

Check out the following link for your concerns about a “gaming UMPC”:

Not to mention that if you raise game performance in an UMPC (in other words change the graphics chip for something faster) it’s battery life will take a drop. No doubt about it. 3D gaming particularly takes much more battery juice than simple 2D actions (like net surfing). Batteries have their limits, too. And using supply current doesn’t always come in handy with UMPC’s. They’re supposed to be quite mobile, after all.

I’d settle for playing those older games on UMPC and do modern gaming on a desktop PC with supply current and killer graphics card. Much more convenient that way.

It’s definitely mixed

You can’t really raise gaming power without raising price but maybe that’s what needs to be done. Granted UMPC’s will never be as powerful as power based laptops. But why can’t there be high priced UMPC’s that have better performance but still designed for small form factor and high battery life?

When will someone make a dedicated Windows XP Gaming UMPC? Every single UMPC blog I see people asking about gaming performance. Gaming is a huge selling point. All of these UMPC’s aimed at business use and word processing, I see people say ”will WOW run on this?” When will the manufacturers wise up and actually tap into this gap in the market. A dedicated Gaming UMPC would sell many units, not just for gamers but for business users too since the performance will be high. I have a UMPC manufactured for business use and I use it purely for gaming and emulation. Its a no brainer people.

Hi. I’m no computer wizz, so the various numbers for the graphics cards n stuff don’t mean much . The only games I’d really be looking to play are things like GTA San andreas, old unreal tournaments and maybe a couple of 2+ year old shooting games. Do you reckon the msi wind could cope? Cheers.
