Several reviews have been published as well for this 12-inch netbook. Overall the 1215N is said to be the best performing Atom-based netbook on the market, thanks to its dual core Atom D525 processor and Nvidia ION 2 graphics. Battery life is around 5 hours and 40 minutes from Laptop Magazine’s battery test (continuous web surfing over Wi-Fi). 3D games at native resolution and low details are quite playable. WoW yields 45 FPS and Left 4 Dead 2 gives low 20 FPS.
