I already bought one of these because someone on another forum said it can play youtube videos at 1080p 'beautifully' but now I bought one it can't play them all without a lot of dropped frames. Ok next time I'll do my own research.

I'm using Lubuntu but is anyone using one of these brixs with Windows and if so can you watch a youtube 1080p test video smoothly? (I assume not) but I'm just asking in case there is some sort of hardware acceleration that is not available in ubuntu.

The cpu is a Celeron Processor N3000 (2.08GHz)
 
Update:

I installed some Intel hd drivers via a driver update utility on the internet and following instructions to disable software overriding in chromium, after that it was just fast enough to watch the 1080p test videos I watched, in the most demanding bits it can get to 100% usage though and I'm not sure if it drops a frame or two.

Anyone know if it's a similar performance in terms of cpu usage in windows?
