Hi, I'm probably going to buy this netbook if you can confirm one thing for me please :D

You say, "+ youtube and hulu works fine. but HD will stutter", but how about just a regular 720p video like from a video camera? (ie. not streaming online)

because I vlog quite a lot and it would be useful to be able to see what I've recorded on my netbook! :D thanks!

@tempuser42

i opened a 720p MKV file, vid stuttered.

i tried a 1080p MTS file from my camcorder, vid stuttered.

i guess your best bet is go for a netbook with ION processor.

@MaverickU2

I mean local video on the HD, the online ones like Hulu or Youtube are heavier on the cpu

Try Media Player Home Cinema + CoreAVC external decoder

it's the most efficient software decoder and especially it can take full advantage of Hyperthreading Technology

with that software 720p are ok and even some not complex 1080p
