Indeed. The goal is cheap and possibly disposable..remember we're
talking about a 14 year old with no hardware budget to call his own.

How about forgo the hardware limitations and buy a laptop? For the

rendering WoW, you'd be able to buy a laptop far superior in specs
(bigger hd, more ram, better video capabilities, more viewable space,
and an optical drive). Now if we were talking about a $200 "netbook"
capable of playing WoW worth a damn, I would say go for it.
Unfortunately, I have only this to say about "netbooks"... the
technology isn't there yet.

Wow, dual-core N330, 8GB max RAM, and Ion graphics. Is this the first
"netbook" with such specs?
I've been waiting to see dual-core portable atoms...
As to WoW, it would of course be *much* crappier than any C2D-class
machine, right??
(although it might approach playable, relative to older netbooks)
IANAW (wow'er)...

I would think he would be able to play WOW. He might try to hook up
the HDMI to a 46" LCD TV after being frustrated with the small screen
size.
