Samsung to launch Nvidia Ion-based N510 netbook
Besides housing an Nvidia 9400M graphics chip, the N510 should have relatively standard netbook components. These include a 160GB hard disk drive, 1GB of memory, Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity, Bluetooth, a webcam, multi-format memory card reader, 6-cell Li-Ion battery and Windows XP Home. The N510 should arrive as soon as next month, though unfortunately the rumored 570€ (~$800) price tag puts it firmly into full-notebook territory. (Image source: Legit Reviews)

I have to admit, I don't mind the price if what you are getting is decent, this actually sounds (and looks) decent, I would consider buying a netbook like this as it would now run WoW =P plus many other things, |

The massive size of WoW, along with the immense processing and graphics power it requires , would ultimately cause WoW to run very slow on this platform burty117. Please don't buy this netbook thinking it will be a new compact gaming platform. It simply is not. |

LOL! i've got a lower spec laptop than this running wow! lol! "the immense processing and graphics power it requires" - this is a load of S**T and you know it, wow is possibly the easyest game to run even when it was released it didn't require a super computer. "The massive size of WoW" - its only like 14GB, crysis is bigger than that, and this netbook has 160GB, so no problem there. "Please don't buy this netbook thinking it will be a new compact gaming platform. It simply is not." - I never said it is, i stated that this is more powerful than most other netbooks, and if you have a search on the internet, with some modding and overclocking, people have managed to get wow to run on older netbooks before, badly i will admit but still managed it, this has 4x the graphics is power (which is where the other netbooks where failing) so I am happy to bet this would run wow happily. |

The problem with WoW is that it's a heavily CPU dependant game. It relies alot of the power of the CPu, not the GPU, and since the Atom is a pretty weak CPU, with a low 512kb of L2 cache (cache is what WoW relies mostly on) It's really not going to run WoW any better than what you've seen on the older netbooks. |
