This PC is advertised with its ability to play HD videos.
Unfortunately, it is not sold with HD video decoder. This is embarrassing for asus and frustrating for us.
Don’t buy it!!Don’t be deceived like us.

MY ASUS 1005PR IS BEING RETURNED! AMAZON SHOULD NOT PARTICIPATE IN THIS DECEPTION!!!
I too found out that it is impossible to play Dolby Digital 5.1 AC3 on some H264 Blueray files. I could not believe that when you went to open file and pointed TMT3 to a BD folder it didn’t open it. I was very disappointed because if you have to play just the .m2ts you lose the chapters and more importantly any of the forced subs. I all ready own the TMT Extreme and thought I would install it. It plays the movie from the BD folder and also has sound BUT the video playback is not fluid at all, It jerks and studders all over the place. I finally had to do a full F9 reinstall to get the old version TMT3 back to working. What a rip off if they try to sell us an upgrade for 99 bucks. I think that the ASUS 1005PR is a great idea but I am already out 425 dollars for it, plus 80 dollars for 2Gigs of ram (what a rip off cause they should have put it in or at least offered it as upgrade since it is painfully slow with out it and after upgrade you are left with a useless 1Gig stick.), so for 500 dollars I might as well wait till some one else offers a comparable net book that will play real HD content. Arcsoft did this same old crap with the Hauppauge HD PVR 1212. It came with TMT but was crippled with no way to edit the files untill you paid more. I’ve had it and have bought 2 Asus monitors Asus PG-221 and the way too expensive VK-266H plus lots of motherboards but this is the last time I trust them to play square. I am sending back my Asus 1005PR and hope everyone else does the same. Seeya ASUS and Arcsoft, wouldn’t wanna buy ya, you’re a bunch of CROOKS. Have fun screwing over all your customers untill they get smart

Seems like it’s hit-or-miss in getting a correctly configured 1005PR; mine was a miss. I do not know if ASUS got a bad batch of Broadcom HD cards, or simply did not install those cards in half the systems, but do not purchase this system yet until Rev 2 is released.

Some of these are shipping without the Broadcom Crystal HD accelerator from Amazon and other online retailers. Anyone interested, hold off on purchasing this machine until it gets sorted out. I will update this review once things are settled.

I went against the advice of everyone on here and ordered one of these anyway, taking a chance of a bad or missing Broadcom HD card. Windows showed it as a listed device, but it was not functioning properly (I installed flash 10 and tried updating the Broadcom drivers too.) Upon reinstalling the drivers, it could no longer find the card! Bummer.
Amazon is amazing and is sending me another one tomorrow; hopefully i’ll have better news to report or else I am going to wait for a Rev 2.
UPDATE: Just got the second EEE in the mail from Amazon: another defect.
Asus, you really need to get your act together. This is it, I am refunding and waiting for something else in the future.
