I've been looking at getting a new Notebook, and it's looking like it'll be a 13" portable with HD5000 or HD5100 graphics, anyone happen to own for example a new Vaio Pro or Macbook Air?

I've heard HD4000 performance in NS2 is poor at best... but i'm hoping a HD5000 could manage, well. average (30fps/low)

    I tried NS2 on lowest settings, on my Ivy Bridge i3 Netbook with IntelHD4000. I gets between 10 and 30fps depending on what is going on. Not that playable, but not quite a slideshow. I imagine the HD5000 is a bit faster.

    Thats nice to know, an i5 and hd5000/5100 with SSD should at least be playable if i need a fix while on the go then
