Slow, get a tablet instead, neither my wife or I use them anymore. Both use in love with the speed and capabilities of our iPads.

It's OK. But my recommendation will be upgrading the ram memory. If you add more RAM will be fine

Depends what you are currently running now to compare an increase. By itself it is a fast CPU. Streaming is more dependent on network infrastructure.

Streaming from where? That has more to do with bandwidth. However, if you mean the screen resolution, I have no complaints.

I've streamed Netflix and YouTube plenty of times with no problems. I've also sent the stream to an external monitor with no problems.

The device does not have a browser and the unit does not have Amazon as one of it's streaming video options. So, you cannot stream video from Amazon. However, it does have a usb port on the front of the unit that will allow you to play anything that is plugged into it. So, there are ways to save the video to a flash drive and then plug the flash drive into the usb port on the wd live. That's what I do.

Can't answer that. It does stream youtube Hulu type vids well (what I got it for), but my guess it would not do well for gaming.

Pretty good. I only use it for still images via email, not for full screen streaming.

The biggest slowdown to streaming video is the speed of your connection to the streaming server.The card should improve streaming a bit if you have an underpowered computer, but it is with large locally stored files that this card really shines

Yes, it Wii stream video. Quality Will depend on your ISP. You will also have to download the apps.

Yes this PC will easily handle live streaming, remember your router/internet service also plays a role in streaming without buffering. If you can direct connect to your router vs wireless it is even faster. The processor, memory and video are plenty adequate with this PC. We use it for internet gaming with little to no lag.

Ive had it for over 6months. I really like it. It streams hulu..Netflix and more. Only downfall is that it won't stream certain video types directly from the wed.

Depending on you internet connection and how well you keep the system running, the videos should stream like a normal full-sized desktop does.

I use it to do backups at work. it has Gigabit port and runs fairly fast when running backup. but not sure about 1080p videos.

Yes they run You tube Videos and live Streaming events very well. But you need to make sure your current Internet Provider has a stable connection sometimes it isn't the Computer but the Internet Provider I have found when you are watching YouTube. They can be the cause of some of the problemwith videos that stop and then start.Over all a very good computer I have 2 this model and an earlier model I only had one problem and that was after about 9 months of purchase I had to have the Power supply's replaced it didn't cost that much and I have no other problems.

It is just a switch. If you know how to connect your devices with an ethernet switch, it is theoretically fast enough for HD streaming. But I did not use it for that purpose before.

I'm not sure as I havent look into it. When I got the unit my concern was the way it streamed 1080p content which is so important for me and it failed...
