Hi,
I recently bought my daughter a MSI Wind U135 DX (1GB ram, 160GB disk, Windows 7) and she loves it. The only problem is that she wants to watch online TV such as BBC iPlayer and 4OD, and the playback stutters badly. Two questions for you:
First, is there anything that can be done about this? I dont know if she has other apps running when she tries to play the video. Would that make a difference? Also, would there be any effect by upgrading her version of Flash (assuming she doesnt already have the most recent one)?
Second question is - if we cant do anything about this problem I think I will have to replace the netbook because she intends to use it at uni and will definitely want to watch TV that way. Can you recommend a not-stupidly-expensive netbook that doesnt have video stuttering issues? I'm afraid I cant just look at a list of specs and know which is best!!
Many thanks
