HD movies/tv shows are becoming standard in x264, mkv container. Therefore I want be able to use your netbook for playing high def media regardless if the screen can fully show the picture.

But... one of the biggest disadvantage with netbooks is imo low resolution. HD screen is very high on my list for netbook upgrade. Also hardware assisted HD decoding since a Atom can play 720p today but batterytime will suffer.

1080p playback is important if using your netbook as a media player to an external large screen 1080p device (1080p plasma/lcd/projector)

720p and 1080p will be the standard formats for video. No one will want to have to transcode all their video files just so they can play it on their netbook
