| 777739 | 2009-05-28 21:58:00 | What do you mean watch films on TV?? What films? Do you mean DVD's? I would transfer films from another H/D onto laptop and watch on LCD TV. There are no discs with unit. |

| 777742 | 2009-05-28 22:13:00 | Well you cant upgrade much besides the ram. But if the max is 320mb, you cant add more ram to it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 777743 | 2009-05-28 22:14:00 | It is worth doing a small upgrade of RAM, then it will probally do everything you want. Do you know if it has wifi and svideo? |

| 777746 | 2009-05-28 23:13:00 | With wifi you will be able to network to your main computer, if you have an accesspoint/wireless router. You will not have to copy the videos to the laptop, just stream across wifi. With svideo it should be easy to plug into your LCD TV with the correct wires, then there is just a keyboard short cut to get the output to the TV. |
