Video playback on a netbook

But even then. 720/1080 on a 10 inch screen? Come on. There's really no need to care about quality, but playback capabilities.
You should be ok with 720.

1080p is just the worst case. Most bakabt videos are just 720p. So i'll be happy with just that :)
And both are 12" netbooks, and i'm gonna be connecting them to an external 22" LCD ;D

The reviews demonstrated them playing back blueray so it's pretty much guaranteed that they can support a standardized codec. The question now is if it supports bakabt codecs (Which is everything out there set to insane bitrates).

Yeah, they're underpowered ones with barely any grunt to decode H264.
And graphics? Oh sweets~! DVD quality will be superb but 720p? Usually depending on the bitrate.
DivX HD? Even my Nokia E90 can do that.

Looks like the 1201N can run 1080p. The video uses Queens Blade as an example.
Now i'd like to know if the u230 can do it too :D

Youtube 1080p quality is nothing compared to THORA's or CG's, not even eureka's or DTS-WIKI's or even CBGB's encodes will play on that thing.
VLC 720p with an MP4 container, could be anything in that for the video.
And Queen's Blade was sluggish even on a slow paced scene and did you see what that guy used?
WMP!! \o/

Stop spreading lies please. That computer can do THORA's 1080p with 10% cpu usage. It's called DXVA/CUDA, you use the gpu to decode the video. As I said I have a nettop with the exact same specs and it can do 1080p without any problems what so ever, I just tested a high action sequence of Thora's 1080p release of Appleseed - Ex Machina and I had cpu usage of 7-11%.
Flash 1080p are much more demanding btw. This clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XITHbsUUlYI with flash 10.1 for gpu decoding uses 20-30% cpu.
Now considering the size and resolution of the monitor it might be fairly pointless to watch 1080p but that has nothing what so ever to do with the capabilities of the rest of the hardware.
