umPC

[James.]

I'm looking for a ultra mobile pc.
No price range, but it must have at least 1 usb port. Have wi-fi and run tf2.
If I have to, i'll go to a small laptop.

Any sort of battery life?

Have a look at PC WORLD'S NETBOOKS

I don't think netbooks would be fun to play tf2 on...

Hmm, I play WoW on mines when I go to my mothers.... And it's fine.

I have an MSI Wind.

You won't be able to find any UMPC's that are able to run TF2 properly. Most UMPC's have either an Intel GMA-500 or 900 integrated GPU. Then you get into the Netbook world, but that too is not looking good. TF2 has been said to be more CPU intensive than other Source-based games, and as such won't run well on an Intel Atom processor.

Your best bet would be to look into an Asus N10 - although it's a little expensive for a netbook (when looking at it with the dedicated video card). Sadly there is no "small" device that can seem to play TF2 that well yet

Could always try setting the runsettings (via steam) to -dxlevel 80.....

James, the nvidia ion platform is coming out for netbooks/nettops soon

that would let you play tf2 and other games quite well

no umpc's though

Forget about a UMPC for TF2. Not gonna happen any time soon. Get a netbook with an ExpressCard slot and buy an external graphics card.
