Hi guys,

I know the MBA has pretty bad video; I know there was a little stuttering at initial release; can anyone comment on whether Joost and Slingplayer work "ok" on the air? Also, has anyone tried EVE Online (just to log in and train skills) on the air?

Thanks,
a

I looked at Eve Online's requirements; they say it requires a real GPU.

Joost and Sling should be fine... the GPU isn't really involved in playing video on OS X (it is used for acceleration on other platforms, but GMA handles that fine).

The minimum requirement for Eve Online for Macs is ATi X1600 or nVidia 7300, so GMA isn't going to work there.
