not true. I have a dell mini 10 inch netbook 1 gb memory and it buffers and the quality is awful. it stops and starts, not a smooth picture so you should be careful about answering this question with such conviction. it depends on what netbook and how much power it has

The only down side to getting a cheaper laptop instead of a netbook is weight/size (size being a plus regarding viewability/screen size).If the weight and size (carrying it) don't bother you, a laptop is a much better value, imho.

Yes it runs Netflix smoothly. I have had no problem with my C720 Chromebook. It runs very fast and the battery life is great. Like it a lot better than other laptops I have had over the years. I use it mainly for e-mail and the internet.

I just got a S2110 yesterday and am very impressed with it. I don't use Netflix but the Google Play Store has it for download and the Store says that the S2110 is compatible with Netflix.

Sorry I don't have a NETFLIX account so I can't quite tell you if it works or not.. but I do know that all Netflix needs is a WiFi connection. What I can do tell you is that it streams all kind of videos all you to do is install adobe air and reader stream any video on the web.So not sure by what do people mean when they say it don't stream.

E. Beesley, I managed to register on the website rather than using the software as I have the same issue. Using a netbook the full screen will not display, meaning you cannot see the 'agree or proceed' or whatever it may be! There are still things I've not managed to see and we therefore cannot access. I'm extremely disappointed. Working scrollbars are surely not too much to expect?

So the netbook would have a card slot to upload photos? Will she be able to use this netbook with our printer? Im sorry for such stupid sounding questions but I want to make sure she can do things she currently does on my full size desk top. We are thinking of getting the Dell Inspiron Mini 10v. What is windows 7 starter? Not sure if you should get that or XP? Also not sure what the difference is between Intel Atom Z530 and Intel Atom N270 is, but is it worth an extra $200?

I have the 47LN5700 and you can use the HDMI connection to connect your laptop to the TV and show what ever you are showing on the laptop on the TV. I load Netflix on my laptop and see the movie on both the laptop and the TV at the same time. Hopes that answers your question. If not be more specific with your question.

Chris Martin is wrong. I downloaded the apk of the latest version of Netflix and manually installed it. I can log in and browse and update my queue. But it fails to connect to the server when I try to stream anything. I presume this is some device check thing. But I don't think anyone has hacked this out of the latest version of the app since it works on all Froyo and Gingerbread devices.

I had the same problem. Probably it caused by codec/software/drivers conflict. At the first glance it seemed playing Netflix movies flawlessly. After I downloaded and installed new Acrobat 9.2 (+ it automatically installed Acrobat Air), codec pack, and DivX it stopped play Youtube, Netflix, Hulu, etc. I made system restore to the clean state (as it arrived). Problem disappeared. I didn't figure out what exactly causes this problem, I just got my netbook few days ago and still testing it. I didn't experience problems like software conflicts before, and don't know much about it. BTW, before to buy Samsung, I tried ASUS 1005. Despite I didn't have any problem with ASUS performance (it is excellent, noticeably better than Samsung), I hated its loose and vibrating keyboard, and returned it. No regrets, just a hope that I do not have to return my N120.

You can watch Netflix if you can get the device to work. I bought 3 of them and returned all 3 the very next day. They reboot nonstop and could not do anything with this device. I would not recommend this device. I bought the Artchros tablets and have no problems so far, they are also 9 inches and comes with the Google play store preinstalled and yes Netflix works great in it too.

I am looking for something lighter than a notebook to travel with that I can watch movies on, read books on as well as access the internet from time to time. Any ideas? Please help. Thanks!

If you have Netflix you can stream movies. Another way is to use the desktop to download then transfer it to a micro SD to watch. Works great on video.

I just tried viewing a Netflix movie using the NB-505. Even upgraded to 2GB RAM, the video is decidedly jerky. I would not recommend this for Netflix. However, it plays local video just fine.

I don't quite understand why it doesn't have Netflix since the amazon site shows it has the "Netcast Entertainment Access"....which carries Netflix. I'm technical and can't find answers - no wonder everyone keeps buying and doesn't understand why it doesn't have Netflix. Would everyone stop slamming these people and calling them stupid. (by everyone, I mean those that have commented on reviews, not mj28)Has anyone tried to download a firmware update on this player (on lg website there are several updates) and see if netcast entertainment access would now have netflix?I get it if it truly doesn't have it - but for some of us, the advertisement on this page vs. LG page is different.

Not sure about Netflix but my sons watch YouTube videos on it. Don't know if that helps or not.

Ok, that is my problem. I want the one that can connect to Netflix and is wireless. Is there such a thing out there? The prices are almost the same so I would like to get the best version. It is getting late, I have to buy. Please help..
