hi there! i’m planning to buy this one this Saturday. Can you tell me more about the features? can it work well if i load sims 2, need for speed, DoTa, and NBA?
I never really tried installing games on this one till yesterday. Installed CS Source and it played perfectly, just like on my desktop. I guess you could play those games too. Cheers!
I’m running Ubuntu myself, but can’t get the webcam to work. Does it work on your side?
