How powerful a laptop do I need to play HD clips when it is connected to a HDTV(Panasonic TX-32LXD500) through the dvi slot.

ok but would a 2GHz laptop work ok

Slightly underpowered, even for minimum config. What about memory and the graphics card?

 

[blp21]

1gb memory and 128mb graphics card it is the acer ferrari 4005

Best thing to do, download a clip and see if it works!

i have not yet bought it are there any other laptops more powerful

 

[blp21]

the ferrari 4005 has a AMD Turion ML37 Processor 2.0GHz

ok but would a 2GHz laptop work ok

If it is a Pentium M Processor, then I think it should be powerful enough. If its the 2ghz one it would be equivalent to a desktop Pentium 4 at around 3.4 ghz.

I have not tried HD on mine yet, I might try...

AMD Turion ML37 Processor 2.0GHz

 

[amorenod]

If I'm not mistaken, 37 is for Turion what 3700+ is for Athlon, so yes, the ferrari 4005 is ready for the task.

 

[blp21]

can you explain in simpler language please and are you sure i do not want to buy it and find out it cannot do this task

 

[amorenod]

It means that the Turion ML37 is similar in power to a Pentium 4 3,7 Ghz. Marketing aside, looks like the Ferrari 4005 is more than adequate to run HD videos.

The Turion is a mobile Athlon 64 chip so I'd be highly surprised if it didn't do the job with ease.
