    I was thinking about getting the S1737, but was wondering is the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD really fast enough for decoding blu ray? Anyone know if this is acceptable? I will frequently be watching movies and connecting it from my laptop to my hdtv via hdmi. Thanks!

    Apparently it is - but I wouldn't count on being able to do much else while playing them.

    Yes, the 4500MHD is the Mobile High Definition variant of Intel's GMA X4500 chip, hence the MHD. That means it is made for HD video, including Blu Ray.
