    totally wrong and absolutely untrue
    :rolleyes: even in an AMD 5x86 on windows95, you can watch vcd/dvd movies, why will it be impossible with the netbooks? lol
    ofcourse it will not be in hd

    1366 × 768 native resolution

    That resolution seems to be the new standard for netbooks, and is nothing too amazing. So long as it's not Hd content it will be fine.

    Using CoreAVC, 720p playback is no problem. With that said, I would recommend anyone looking for a low-cost, low-powered HTPC, to seriously consider an ION based system, such as the Acer Aspire Revo R3600 posted in BA recently.
