Probably not. Netbooks lend towards to be underpowered even compared to laptops. My daughter’s Macbook, with Nvidia graphics struggles to fool around that.

http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/ Go to this website, Select sims 3 and it will run a test on your system and tell you if it has the minimum and recommended requirements for the game.
Sorry for the delay…. Its not bad multi tasking, but the issue is with the load times for programs. The SSD is slow, but the FSB is still 533mhz, so once things get off the HD (onto the RAM) it runs well. WCIII ran fine with multiple units. I was running battlenet games with my 2 buddys and accept for a few skipped frames here and there, it was efficient.
While I am not getting this for gaming and know that this isn’t for gaming, is there any way you can tell me how it performed with a lot of stuff on the screen? How well it performed in WC3 with a lot of units on screen. Thanks a lot.

What is the songs name in this vid?
you can get one with 160 GB aswell
there is a external dvd burner clearly pictured in the video… OR you can use a program like power ISO or Alchol 120% to mount disk images you make on another machine… Good luck!
hi i have this laptop and how did u get office on there since it has no cd drive
it says 136 gb
the 120gig or 8gig?
i just got my acer mini labtop today and it rocks!

I don’t remember… But they are all on the Acer Site… Not a big deal.
did you have to install any drivers for the wifi plz answer??
I’m a hardware junky.. lol… I’ve maxxed out my boot speeds on moving drives, so the next step is SSD (solid state disk) I bought this because for $329 I couldn’t go wrong, but once it was gone I was out $100! The 120gb is a good by for a average user, but I’m looking for certain attributes in a netbook. As you have seen in my previous posts my next one is the Asus Eee PC 1000 40g… Cant wait!
i hope you get one cause this 120 good enough for me it has a 1gbddr2 ram and it can play gta4 no prblem and tomb radier i am going to try call of uty 4 and see how it runs
That’s good… The 8gb is a bad choice… I wouldn’t buy the 120, because I refuse to settle with a moving drive, but the SSD on the 8gb on the Aspire One is crazy slow… Good Luck!
i have the 120gb thatswhat iam taking on now
no idea… Google that sh** man, I’m not going to do the research for you…AND to further elaborate on my last message, the Asus Eee n10 series now has one with a 256mg independent graphics card; Great for Auto Cad!
can i use it with 220V ??
Good to know. I have heard that the touch pad/buttons were a drawback… I prefer a bluetooth mouse anywayz, and when I use the touch pad I’ll make it a point to use the tap rather than the buttons… Thanks!
Yes I did own one and I can’t complain about the actual software/hardware inside the system, it ran perfectly fine! Just the click buttons (not sure about the technical term) became stuck and ineffective after a month. The left one completely went out and wouldn’t work. Got it replaced and happened again. I now have been using the AA1 150, and it has some issues, but the the quality of the keyboard, clicker, etc seem to be better at this point.
So you have owned one? Among the providers that make netbooks under $500 with SSD’s, Asus has the best reputation. Despite how they look or feel, the hardware used in their systems are the best and fastest available… I would take a toyota with bad fit/finish over a Kia any day… lol… I don’t know everything, far from it, but I use Asus for every desktop I build (allot!!) and have zero complaints. I admit that I am biased, but its based on personal experience and general reputation.
I respect your opinion – and believe you may know more about computers than me.. but the Asus 901 and 1000 do not feel very well built. They felt horribly built actually and the quality seemed horrible.
Maybe, Just go for something better… Eee Pc 1000; bigger screen, way faster 40gig SSD, un-cramped keyboard, Asus quality (Acer is the ‘budget brand’ and their rep shows it)… Its only $100 more for the 1000, and if your budget allows you could check out the s101 too, very nice… Good Luck!
