It was a bit slow to use and I had to tun down all of the detail levels to minimum, but it was usable. It looks like there is a problem with the shipped graphics driver that causes 3D apps to slow down, but apparently can be fixed with a patch. Same problem seemed to affect Google Earth on it too. Unfortunately I had to give the unit back as it was only borrowed before I try the patch. Am hoping to get one soon though so will give it another go. Sorry, I don't know the frame rate figures.
I was surprised at just what this machine could do, it will cope with all the office type tasks plus will run programs as diverse as Second Life and Drupal. I borrowed one for the weekend to see what it could do and wrote it all up: http://www.greenhughes.com/category/tagskeywords/asuseee. The most striking thing was that it appeals to non-power users and power users alike. Like many in the UK I'm waiting for new stock to be made available and I'll get one as it perfect for meetings and traveling.
