2013 MBA and 1080p video

[nagihcim1]

Is the new 2013 MBA capable of playing 1080p video smoothly?

only in i7/8GB/512 configuration.

Guess you are trolling, aren't you?

It will play it smoothly, and can easily output it to an external monitor, but of course the built-in screen is only 1440x900

I figured it would be fine, thanks Newbie

You really mean i5/4/128 isn't enough for smooth 1080p video playing??

LOL like he said he's trolling. My i5/8 /128 plays 1080p content on its own screen or on my 23" 1080p HP monitor just fine.

Okay, but I think 4GB is totally enough for smooth HD playing, isn't it?

Smooth as butter. I am loving it!

It won't be the best quality because the display isn't 1080p, but I doubt you care

 

[Ollifi]

Yes, I know. But 8GB doesn't make the display 1080p, does it? So I think HD video playing is as smooth with both 4GB and 8GB RAM.

Are you serious? My 1.6ghz Core2Duo with 2GB played back 1080p smoothly, that should give you a hint.

2013 MBA can handle 4K very well
