1-Dec-2008 shreeve: will crysis run on this laptop from the reccomended spec http://www.crysis-online.com/page/system-requirements.html

SteveF: With the graphics card suplied with that machine, modern DirectX 10 games will run only in low details and resolutions (if fluent). Older DirectX 9 games, like HalfLife 2 or Far Cry run fluently in medium details.

2-Dec-2008 kierenb2k8: hi would this laptop be able to run World Of Warcraft with both expansion packs and sims 2 and age of empires 3?

SteveF: Yes it would.

4-Dec-2008 rabbit :P: Does this laptop look good? Also do asus make good quality laptops as i have only seen them make motherboards and stuff

SteveF: The EEEPC is made by Asus and has won numerous awards and created a whole new category of laptops called Netbooks in the process, so they have the pedigree. Check out the 360 view if you want to see more detail.

14-Dec-2008 John: Will this laptop record and play CD's as well as DVD. Need one for my wife who wants to use it to access the internet and do simple office work - guess this would suit the purpose? Also need one for my son who is a student but would also look to play on-line games. Is this spec suitable or would he need one with a better processor and graphics card? Thanks

Matt: It would write CDs as well as DVDs, it wouldnt be the best choice for gaming though.

15-Dec-2008 stefan: Thinking of one for my 13 yr old daughter. Will it play Spore, MS's Zoo Tycoon series, EA's Theme Park World?

David J: This laptop should be able to handle basic gaming. The games you mentioned may run in the lower settings

4-Jan-2009 Hugo: When I went on the ASUS website, the picture of the X59GL-AP006C looks nothing like the one you've given here. Is this picture an actual representation of the laptop?

SteveF: Yes, the pictures are taken by us and picked against the stock code of the item.

4-Jan-2009 Brian: Is there a charge on the upgrade from 2GB to 3 GB RAM? also how many pixels for the webcam? And how long is the battery life? Thanks
