How to fix it up: Install Windows 7, which installs a new graphics driver. Set it up with the Win 7 basic theme until Intel fixes the driver problem with the GMA 500. I get beautiful 720p video and it's not slow. The 2 gig/250MB HD verion works beautifully.. The problem you guys are having is completely in the video driver.. To fix this look at: http://www.istartedsomething.com/20090723/lesson-intel-graphics-power-saving-feature/ then run MSCONFIG from the CMD window disable anything in the startup tab labeled "Intel" and it will update and not crash the video driver at all.. There is still an issue with AERO and the Windows media player but it can be fixed. It's just a problem with compositing a video windows on aero, much like the prob they had on the earlier 845 chipset. Intel writes the worst drivers. This little trick I am suggesting works in VISTA and intel either way.. You'll find everything speeds up and draws faster too.. Adding Windows 7 really speeds it up too.. I bought one and love it..

I love the design. Please let us all know when you test this if casual video streaming is okay or a no-go. Another thing that some reviewers don't mention is how it runs after they get rid of all the bloatware. Would also be nice to compare the speed of web browsing, videos, apps, etc. to the 8.9.

If you want to test something, throw Win7 on it so I don't have to =) I'm torn between ubuntu remix and Win7 right now. I'll boot off a usb key for the remix...

Pretty much the same as this Acer I'm reviewing except with an AMD chip and ATI graphics. Battery life is lower (5 hours versus 8 hours) but it should handle video much, much better. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9370272&type=product&id=1218093001788 Check out this Gateway, too.

My current netbook has the newer n280 processor, and it has the occasional hiccup, but not as much as previous machines I've had with the n270 processor. Believe it or not, my first netbook (Eee Pc 701) with the Celeron processor seemed to handle video a lot better than these Atoms.

Are there any higher-end ones that you know of that don't have that issue, or ones with dedicated graphics? Thanks Doug,
