Hi people. I just purchased a used T1005p on e-bay and I am waiting for it to arrive. I want to be able to play 720p and 1080p videos on it without taxing the CPU too much. From what I am reading, the N550 should be able to handle 720p but not without hiccups. Years ago, I had a Broadcom Crystal HD decoder in my HP mini (Atom N270) and it worked great. 1080p clips played flawlessly with the CPU at around 20% with the help of the decoder card. Without the card, even 720p clips would not play smoothly even with a maxed out CPU.
I can't seem to find much info on the T1005 motherboard and if it will support one of these mini pci-e cards. Can anyone out there tell me if there's a spare mini pci-e slot in the T1005 and whether or not that slot (if available), can support one of these decoders?
