So this thing should be able to handle HD video playback?

Been looking for something more portable than a 12 inch netbook, that I can still hook up to the TV for some HD action.

Correct me if I'm wrong anyone?]]>Jul 21st 2010 7:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/Jul 21st 2010 8:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/Jul 21st 2010 8:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/Jul 21st 2010 8:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/What media player are you using? My laptop has a useless processor and a Mobility Radeon HD 3200 and it plays 1080p MKVs flawlessly. Search for Media Player Classic Home Cinema and a tutorial on how to set up DXVA acceleration. That requires Vista or Win 7 though.]]>Jul 21st 2010 10:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/Oh and DXVA doesn't seem to work on any wmvs but 720p mp4s, mkvs and movs work perfectly (processor consumption around 0-20%)]]>Jul 21st 2010 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/Jul 21st 2010 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/
By the sound of the article, MSI may be using the same screen as the Lenovo x100e (11.6" semi-matte 1366x768), the same CPU and the same GPU. The 6-cell weight is about the same. In fact, if you can get the MSI with the dual-core 625, you've got an x100e with HDMI instead of VGA and the wonderful trackpoint.

To answer your 1080p playback question, YES with the 10.6 Catalyst driver package. No problem here on my x100e (w/dual-core).]]>Jul 21st 2010 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/Jul 21st 2010 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/Jul 21st 2010 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/Jul 21st 2010 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/Jul 21st 2010 12:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/21/msi-launches-wind12-u230-light-shaves-two-inches-and-30-clams/Jul 22nd 2010 12:41PM
