Haven't watched any movies yet, but lots of HD YouTube videos. I have fast Internet so everything loads fast. Videos stream flawlessly if originating server is fast or there isn't a clog in the pipe elsewhere. Buy plenty of RAM; 8GB minimum in my opinion. More is better.

This computer comes with one pair of 3D glasses specialized for this unit so you can't just watch movies with any pair of Shutter glasses.It ONLY plays 3D Blu-Ray movies and Short media which can be found on the 3DVsionLive.com website which is run by the graphics card manufacturer.You will be able to play 3D movies only after you configure your graphics card to work with the 3D glasses provided. And they can only be watched if played using the included Toshiba 3D BluRay Player. I don't believe standard streaming 3D movies will necessarily play properly although they MIGHT. The only way I've gotten it to work so far is to Physically have a 3D BluRay Disc In the computer. VUDU etc... not guaranteed.

It depends on what you do. I usually use it for watching movies or shows, and it usually lasts around 3-4 hours. Other wise, if I'm using it for social networking or just browsing, around 5-6 hours.

Latency from my phone is probably .2 - .4 sec off. It could be ignored and workable, but for me, it is too far off for me to use it to comfortably watch a movie. My laptop (older Bluetooth technology) is actually a worse.

I suppose it depends on your standards and application that you're running. I am using it for office purposes so spreadsheets, web displays and periodic videos work perfectly fine for me.If your plan is to watch high-definition movies and are picky about it I'd say probably not.

I read where the bigger screens in this curve design are better and allows that sweet spot for viewing to not be a major factor. Go for it. Enjoy

This laptop is great for watching movies, listening to music, etc. I really enjoy mine and feel good I didn't get it for an expensive price.

It's OK to listen to movies.Since it's single-side headset, it's not recommended for movie if you want to fully enjoy the movie.

Unless you're really going to watch a lot of video, the screen size shouldn't matter too much?.I have an e250 that survived 6months in Afghanistan (being banged around in my pocket) and an e260, (so I could give the e250 to the wife and 'upgrade' my own). Love them both.

Ya it works just fine for streaming, ive streamed lots of movies on it. If anything is slow its going to be because of your internet speeds not the computer.

Yes, you can. There may be, however, a performance drop depending on the combined richness of the content. For example, watching 2 movies at the same time will likely result in some jerkiness. This can be offset, somewhat, by the amount of free RAM in your system and adjusting caching.

I'm sorry I can't help you here because I don't do gaming. It seems to stream videos just fine and is faster than my old one. Probably not much help, huh?

You can use a Thumbdrive to add extra space, or if you are away, u could use a External Harddrive with its own power source and watch movies or music from it

Really for multimedia functions you want this is not the best option as there are others with better features, try to get a laptop with HDMI output, and more capacity and better processor ram memory, this laptop is very limited.

I love netflix, so I watch movies all the time on my battery and it last through two and a half leaving about 71% and if you continue watching like a half hour show or something it goes down to about 65%. So its very good with battery, especially if you lower the brightness with energy saver.

I think this laptop is designed for playing games and watching movies or sth, so it is good for games, but not the biggest ones which need very high hardware configuration. For normal work, I think it is suitable too.

I have not used it for that I would like to though,not sure how to do it,I really like my computer but need more room for the big clear screen great to watch Netflix on as I have an ancient tv.
