Can you play video games and movies on a netbook if you have an external hard drive

yes but video games might be slow, because netbook isn't desighned for fast performance, its too small.


Yes you can watch movies, play games and more over you can also get connected to Internet and surf as well and also play games or even watch movies on the Internet.
I recently tried playing the Secret of Monkey Island on a Intel Netbook, which is fairly good and good battery life of Netbook.
