I'm thinking of getting a laptop. Can you watch movies on them without

the movie being slow and/or choppy?

1. Hell yes! We do it all the time. Just remember to hook it up to the charger while watching.
That won't have any impact on the quality of the movie - it DOES however prevent the fucker from crapping out five minutes before the end of the movie because the battery is dead.

3. Absolutely. Any decent Windows or Mac laptop will play DVDs without problems
Many Windows machines will play blu ray discs as well, but on the Mac, there is no blu ray playback, though playback of HD movie files works just fine.

4. YES!
Watched The Social Network on mine last night. Just got a Dell Inspiron with a 17" screen! I love it! :hi:
