The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    you should change it to use intel graphics for those... it is strange as it never did it for me, but intel graphics is plenty for HD youtubeing. could be browser though, im always on opera.
