MakeUseOf.com has written about:
“The 7 Best Powerful Netbook Applications That Don’t Chug System Resources”
and named Impulse the Best Game Platform For Netbooks!
The reasons given were that it is not as resource hungry as Steam which always runs in the background, that Impulse can be shut down and the games still played. Though fewer games are available, they also are less resource hungry. Make Use Of also noted lesser social networking possibilities than Steam but honestly? Imho, since social networking is the next big target of the hackers, that might just make your Netbook a tad more secure.
Netbooks are resource “slim” and run slowly when taxed. Though not a gamer, I can easily see where that would be a major minus for game playing.
So, my hearty “Congrats!” to Stardock for this recognition!
