    hey guys...
    I have purchased a black macbook from a member here for my school usage. I am wondering if this notebook can handle YouTube videos fine? Especially YouTube HD Videos, 720p/1080p.

    Thank you guys.

    You could go to YouTube.com and try it.

    I don't think it can handle HD videos...

    OS X is notoriously bad with flash as it is.

    I don't have the notebook yet, so I can't really try.

    Should be fine. On a 1280x800 macbook, you should pick 720p instead of 1080p.
