I've been doing some research on this mid and found the graphics chip it uses.

Intel System Controller Hub -- SGX535(Intel GMA500) + VXD370

Apparently its a pretty powerful chip and pandora uses a similar one the SGX530.

The MSI wind netbook uses the SGX535 and an atom processor running at 1.6ghz and according to some youtube videos I saw it can run Doom 3! Albeit at very low fps but that is pretty amazing.

and Unreal tournament which runs really well

Now this MID has an atom processor but only at 800mhz so it is half of the MSI wind. I think with proper drivers this device could be a pretty powerful handheld x86 game device. What do you guys think?
