      • Anonymus on November 6, 2012 at 8:40 pm said:

        I actually have run Cod, Assassin’s Creed and even all the Mass Effects in this computer with no problems

        This little guy can run most games with no problems.
        Here are some games which i have played on it:
        TESV Skyrim on high settings.
        Crysis 2 on high too.
        Far cry 3 on medium.
        Borderlands 2 on max settings.
        Sleeping dogs on max settings.
        Call of Duty Black ops on medium settings.
        Battlefield Bad Company 2 on medium settings.
        And Battlefield 3 on medium settings.
        The only problem i found while running games on it is that it tends to over heat while playing games, however i found that using my own monitor solves this problem : )

    How can I install Win XP on it???

  6. yozolios on June 4, 2011 at 10:35 am said:

    TO ALL PEOPLES WHO WANTS WINXP!!

    i own a dell N5010 i5 and i use win7 ultimate…
    i tried to install winxp but then i realized that i have to change some system bios.
    changing system bios can slow the computer and sometimes greatly affect the performance.

    Also, because N5010 is a fairly new laptop, windows xp doesnt fully support its drivers since a while ago. I do know that the stock Windows 7 Home Premium has a laggy experience, but after i installed Windows 7 unlimited, its heaps better! i like windows 7 more then xp now ^^

    U can get windows 7 unlimited for free (download a crack version,or get a clean version then crack it ur self!(thats what i did) then boot up the .iso on a usb and change the boot sequence to usb first..)
    search up a full tut on google or youtube! btw there are ways to config WINDOWS 7 so it has a similar interface to windows xp. AND LASTLY, I REALLY ENJOY THIS COMPUTER…ITS USEFUL IN MANY WAYS. BUT HAS ANYONE TRIED THE HACKED OSX SNOW LEAPORD ON IT?? DOES ALL THE HARDWARE WORK PROPERLY ON OSX?? thx

  7. yozolios on June 4, 2011 at 10:40 am said:

    nvm i figured it out and btw, if anyone wants to know how, u’ll need iboot+multibeast it works but first you must install with -x bootflag after installing use -x bootflag and after setup delete ati kexts in /system/library/extensions then you can boot without any flags. P.S after multibeast mouse may not work if it doesnt boot from cd and get the voodoo trackpad and install it then you can boot without boot flags from Harddrive.
    that means u have to buy the retailed OSX as well…

    • I think you should switch your laptop off and charge it for over 6 hours and then see the battery time. Make sure that the display brightness is low while its running on the battery.

    Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
