How well do videos play on it (like youtube and such)? Does it lag much or at all?

So far the performance is very good, no lagging at all, the only slight issue I has was not realizing it didn't come with a webcam, other than that, everything else works great.

Extremely well, though I do recommend allocating some virtual RAM. I can run Sony Vegas, iTunes, and Firefox all at the same time with no lag.

I haven't had a problem with Netflix or YouTube. It's a decent little computer and super thin and portable. Biggest gripe is that the paint where your hands rest when you type comes off pretty easily with repeated use and the keyboard has a tendency to double letters.

It was meant for media stuff (even has the Media Center button built in near the power button), but last time I tried, I think the super HD videos (like 1080p) do slightly lag, and other resolutions under that should play fine. Also consider the fact that the max memory supported by the motherboard is 2gb.

I've used it for gaming (both PS3 & PC) and I haven't noticed any lag. I've been playing FPS, third person shooters, platformers, etc. I've also used it with both the game mode on & off, and haven't had any issues.

If you're looking for a video card for gaming I'd recommend a card with higher specs. I use it for videos on my HTPC and light gaming, it performs as I need it to, but it lags.

Sorry, I do most gaming from a console, My media PC has a wireless Keyboard & trkball. Not too good for gaming.I have ran MKV Vids through the 3D converter & found no detectable lag or artifacting. Dunno if that helps but its the best I can offer. Never thought to convert a Vid Game, I might try that if I get the time & update this answer.I have an intermediate level NVidia adapter - don't remember the model but it was bout $80 3 years ago, so it's no Cadillac,Good for most MMedia, not great for gaming)

Well the New YouTube App for Android is pretty bad so i didn't upgrade. My wife did and its pretty awful, its slow and it sometime crashes (the old app have none of these issues). My browser was a little to slow for my taste as well so i downloaded the Dolphin browser on Google Play and it seems to be working fine so far. I'd recommend doing the same thing.

I watch YouTube movies and videos and it does great. I just don't like Windows 8 with this computer but everything else is wonderful. The quality of the video's is great depending on your internet speed of course. I have high-speed cable internet. I would recommend this lap-top for movies however, you will probably need to watch the battery life. I get about 5 hours of battery life.

For me it depends on how u want to use. I use mine mostly for internet use, viewing mail, texting. I haven't used for viewing any videos, but have viewed YouTube.

It's borderline for 1080p Youtube videos: Some play smoothly while others exhibit dropped frames every two seconds or so. CPU ultilization is never maxed out though. So it seems as though the Intel Integrated Graphics Processor isn't quite up to the task.

seems fine but when looking at computer there is lag to record but that's no issue. Just can't play off computer screen, only TV. Make sure you have good internet for last gen consoles because when putting video output to 1080p it is good but console connection for multi-player can cause lag because of that end.

Stuff like flash (youtube) is very processor (cpu) dependent; I recently put this in an old machine which had an old intel core 2 duo e4700 and it was fine. So compare that with your own setup.It did seem like it was stuttering if anything else was running. It might be worth it to put another 10 dollars into the video card, but if all your going to be doing is running youtube video it's fine. (Although seriously consider bumping up slightly.)

Speed is decent there is some lag when loading webpages maybe 1-5 seconds depending on the site. All the apps and games run fine tho.

This tablet has a slow chip and not much memory so if you've been running a few apparently beforehand it really slows down. You can speed it up by running tools like Android Assistant to kill background processes. I replaced the pre-installed version. of YouTube with the latest one from the Play store and it runs just fine. For internet browsing I use Opera Mobile with Opera Turbo turned on all the time which loads pages much faster than the default Android Browser by using some smart server-side compression technology.

At the highest resolution the lag time is about 2-4secs. On the lower settings there is almost no lag, and still decent pics.

No, I don't experience any lag of the sound to the video. I use it to record virtual organs with Hauptwerk.Works just fine! :-)
