Choppy youtube playback on 11" i5 ?

[ericv232]

I was in the Apple store today playing with the 11" i5. Watching youtube it seemed like the video playback was not super smooth, or rather the screen refresh was not super smooth.

Has anyone else noticed this? Or was this me hallucinating it?

How many apps were open?

How many apps were running in background?

How many tabs did you have open?

Which web browser were you using to play youtube?

Did it have the latest flash update installed?

There could be many reasons

I don't think there was much running. I didn't look though. It was being played through Safari. Not sure which flash version.

And since YouTube is network dependent, what was the status of their network bandwidth at the time...

Go to

and leave the HTML5 trial.

As a follow up to the thread I started. I went back to the Apple store today and watched the same youtube video. Playback was much smoother this time.
