Title: Streaming on laptop
Post by: yoz1967 on July 11, 2016, 08:12:01 AM

Can my laptop stream or not. It seems my playback is choppy quite often. I use WOW internet service, wireless. My laptop has AMD E-450 APU with Radeon (tm) Graphics 1.65GHZ.  4.00GB Ram (3.60GB usable)  64 bit OP Sys. Did and online speed test--ping 35ms, upload speed 5.27mbps. I want to cancel cable and try streaming tv etc. Any help would be very appreciated.

If you reduce your playback to a lower resolution such as 360 from 720 or higher you might be able to get rid of the choppiness. But it will make the picture less clear. This will make it easier for a weak APU/CPU/GPU system to run this content.

You have a good amount of bandwidth for internet, but this laptop is weak!
