I have a pretty good example. For one it runs emulators great, plus the big screen is a huge plus for playing games. I came from the HTC Incredible, having it for almost the year it was out. I tried playing Dungeon Defenders online and it was a little laggy, kind of hard to play. On my Thunderbolt, I dont see any lag at all. This game is graphically heavy and it plays very well on the Thunderbolt. All other games i have from the market run buttery smooth also.
