Quick question on the duo, I plan on buying one in the next few days, I was wondering when it's plugged in and on Max performance battery settings (I am not concerned about bat life because the way I plan on using this it will almost always be plugged in) will this thing handle 720p YouTube in full screen? And also have you tested Netflix streaming on it?

@misfitwrx Hi, this will handle 720p YouTube vids and perhaps it may run 1080p videos as long as you keep it plugged in. As for Netflix i have not tested Netflix on here but i did test NBA TV on here which seemed to work fine.

you know if it has bluetooth, hdmi port, removable battery, & replaceable ram & hdd?

@t377y000 It does have bluetooth, the battery is not removable and the RAM and HDD could be changed but i have not done any modifications to this so i dont know.

@misfitwrx It handles netflix video full screen very well. I was using Firefox but had maybe too many plugins active. Switched to watching Netflix on Chrome and it works great.

Finally, I think you are the first person to give me a straight up answer to that question.. That's good to hear because I also want to run NHL gamecenter which is just like NBA TV I'm assuming. Sounds like this is exactly what I am looking for (I wanted a touchscreen pc for my toolbox at work to watch NHL games and Netflix, but the "all In one" pcs are all a little to large)

There is also the amazon AppStore to download apps. I have heard that you can plug in Android 2.2 but am unsure of the details surrounding it. Nice review.
