    buy a faster flaptop?

    Without decent to mid-range specs you wont be playing fullscreen youtube videos, frankly.

    It has 4gb of ram and youtube isnt the problem, fullscreen works fine with that. Its other websites like veoh etc...

    well just make sure youve got the latest plugins for Adobe Flash, and Macromedia Shockwave, etc. etc. and that your Display Driver is current.

    If the video is a high resolution then it might struggle without a dedicated graphics card.
