I apologize, I was referring to screen resolution in my previous post when I mentioned the lack of a clover trail tablet with 1080p resolution (screen). Not essential, but the high pixel density of a 1920x1080 screen is great for reading (although portrait mode with a 16:9 tablet is extremely awkward). I haven't noticed any problems with HD video playback on my Think Tab 2.
About my 1st gen product comment: true, its a refined atom processor. I was thinking more about the windows 8 tablet concept itself. The devices themselves are first-gen. In less than 12 months, rumor mill has it that either a new atom will get Intel hd integrated graphics or a new core series processor will draw little enough power for a passive cooling and all day battery life. (Skyrim on a tablet --that's not 2lbs--anyone?)
But as for games, here's my hands on experience with games on my Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2:
Google 'games that run on a netbook'. Those are your options. For gaming, the clover trail processor doesn't seem to have any advantages. It performs nicely in windows UI performance and video viewing, though.
ONE SIGNIFICANT DOWNFALL: gpu scaling doesn't seem to work. When I try to play StarCraft, it appears at 800x600 resolution (expected), but does NOT stretch to fill the screen (vertical or horizontal). It is just a little box. I tried a couple different resolution hacks that I found, but they did not work. Intel's graphics utility is void of options. All it gives are options to change the screen resolution and color settings for videos. Maybe this will be fixed in a driver update, but I'm not hopeful. Intel has a whole new architecture in the works for 2013 and clover trail will likely be swept under the rug in the process.
I am using the widescreen hack for Baldur's Gate 2, which is working great. Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition ran-- but at miserable frame rate (too bad--their ui mods are nice for touch. I make extensive use of the stylus on the original BG2 bc everything is so small. Text is readable with a big fonts hack though).
Out of pure curiosity, I tried SC2. 8fps on lowest settings. Unplayable. Skyrim crashed while loading my save.
Zelda Ocarana of time played smoothly on Project64. There were graphics glitches, but nothing that would specifically inhibit gameplay as far as I could tell.
Torchlight seemed to run well. Torchlight 2 failed.
My advice: wait for the next gen of Intel's ultrabook/tablet processors to come out. It sounds like by the end of 2013, we will be getting ultrabook performance out of our thin, light, all day windows 8 tablets instead of netbook performance. I'm hoping for a Microsoft Surface Pro 2.
For now, I'm impatient and I love my think tab 2. Great build quality. Enjoyable tablet experience, BG2, and --what I was looking for in the think tab 2-- pen performance in OneNote 2010 is great. Can't wait for office 2013.
