How does it perform streaming videos?

The Aspire One I had ran on Windows XP. So I gave up on watching any videos...not enough memory. Kept stopping to buffer and buffer etc. Since Windows 8 supposedly uses a much lower amount of memory and thus frees it up for other programs, maybe it would work ok. But can the hardware support Win 8? I don't know. Bottom line is if streaming video is critical to you, look at another model. This is my personal experience and I am not an IT professional.

Yes and no. Streaming audio and most video should be OK... But if you want to play a hardcore fast action hi Def video game I think the lag and occasional choppyness will be a showstopper

It plays HD video from YouTube. The picture looks compressed some, looking similar to the HD video that you would get from Amazon VOD or Qriocity VOD.

I'm pretty sure the device supports mp4 videos and also, the video quality either stays the same or gets better. I was very impressed by the videoplay!

Streaming from where? That has more to do with bandwidth. However, if you mean the screen resolution, I have no complaints.

I have not attempted it. The provided software does not. But it streams the video feed to other applications. There most like are some that can receive and record a live video stream

No it doesn't. Since I don't use it to watch streamed movies, it wasn't one of my desires. It is a very nice computer though. Just takes a little getting used to windows 8.1.

It plays media, but has no onboard storage. So, it can play online streaming media (Hulu, Netflix, a bunch of other services), it can stream media from a network share so you can watch stuff stored on other computers on your network, and can also play media directly from a drive you plug into one of the USB ports.

I bought mine about a month and a half ago and haven't had it not play anything so I think it does. I do netflix, youtube, stream hulu, and other videos from network sites like abc, nbc, mtv etc. It is full windows 8 so should do everything a PC would.

Hi, I have used this device to stream MP4 and M4V to my iPad, iPhone etc. in the interface on your computer you are able to play files from this device by streaming or just plugging it in by USB. I did have DRM issues when trying to play a video purchased outside of iTunes in another player other than iTunes, however. Those I could only get to play by transferring through the iTunes interface.

I do not have connected to any video streaming just audio. I would say yes if you have a pure gigabit router and Internet pipe. The switch lights show yellow if you do not have the gig pipe and green if you do. HTH

Yes. I do not use the streaming. It's more about gaming quality and speed. Try to think of the device as a console rather then just another android tablet.

Pretty good. I only use it for still images via email, not for full screen streaming.

It all depends on the network...on my 3mbps home wifi, netflix works fine, very minimal loading time, no pauses for buffering and good quality...but if I'm on a public network or trying to piggyback on my next door neighbors' wifi (they gave me the password! sometimes at&t; goes down and they have comcast.) then it can be a struggle to get videos to load at all, much less play smoothly. But I don't think the device itself has any particular limitations as to what videos it can stream.

I have had this device for over a year now. Pretty much any website will load on the built in chrome web browser. Certain websites like ABC and Hulu block video streaming to this device due to some sort of licensing conflict. The web browsing tends to be a little bit slower and clunky compared to a laptop or desktop computer, but the device is very convenient. As long as you have a fast internet connection (anything better than DSL) streaming video will work great. If the device ever freezes or crashes you can press "control" + "alt" + "delete" to restart it.
