Hi everyone!
I own an 11" 1.6Ghz C2D Air that I bring with me everywhere - I love the portability of it. I play World of Warcraft sometimes while on the road, and while I know it's not intended for gaming it works great in most cases. I've limited the FPS to 30 to keep it relatively cool, and it's often hovering at 30 fps and sometimes a bit lower in busy citys. Running heroics and questing is no problem what so ever.
However, I've tried 25-man raid with it, and with tons of spell effects, adds and similar things happening it chokes quite a bit (tried Ryolith 25 hc with it, got 6-10 fps when things was at its worst). I'm quite certain this is mostly because of the slower processor, and not as much the graphics card, but I'm not entirely certain.
So, my question is - has anyone tried pusing the new Air in WoW (both 11" and 13")? What kind of frame rates do you get in 25-man raiding and similar situations? Does the improved CPU make it much faster, or is it even slower than the old model because of the lacking HD3000 gfx?
