SP7+ Xe graphics and gaming

[randyoaks187]

Anyone out there have a SP7+ and do any light gaming on it? My SP5 is a wee long in the tooth and I've been thinking of upgrading it to something that found handle light gaming (like Age of Empires II DE - medium settings vs. computer ). I love the SP form factor and would like to keep it (especially since I have accessories) if possible.

I have. Street Fighter, Trackmania Turbo and Mortal Kombat (after changing a couple of settings) all run perfectly fine. It's a lovely little machine.

Which model did you get? Wondering if the i5 can keep up. I have an i5 now and it's been fine but the fanless worries me if the Xe will be generating alot more heat durring gaming sessions.

Mine's the i5, 8Gb, 1Tb drive.

Extended gaming might be an issue, but it seemed fine for the time I used it. Burnout Paradise was also pretty good.

You could always direct a small little fan at the rear of the device.
