Core i3 laptops start at about $600. Any of these should be powerful
enough to do CPU decoding. Maybe someday in the future VA-API hardware
acceleration may be supported under Linux.


3. Any laptop with GT 220M and Intel CPU > 2.0 GHz
Cost > $725
Screen size is 15" or greater
Battery life around 2-5 hours
The GT 220 will support Advanced 2X de-interlacing for VDPAU and high-def
content with longer battery life. The CPU will support everything else
thrown at it that cannot be decoded via VDPAU.


4. Wait until the nVidia Tegra 2 tablets are released
These should be able to run on Ubuntu, but it may take some time before
official support occurs. The majority will be released under Android OS.

Any comments?
