Not a beefy machine by today's standard but should definitely handle playing 1080p video. How do you play videos? Is there a difference if you play from local storage or from the network (youtube etc). Any difference if the video is fullscreen or in a window? You can check if it's the disk system by doing something that's mostly just disk, such as: grep qwerty -r /usr If I had the same problem I would first check with a dedicated video player like VLC and play around with the video output options (opengl etc).
