    As of late, the new Asus EeePC 1005PR netbook advertised with an embedded Broadcom Crystal HD accelerator for flawless HD playback seems to be lacking the Broadcom Crystal HD accelerator chip on a number of units. If you have already purchased and have received yours, check the box for the "HD" sticker. If it's missing, your 1005PR will most likely be missing the HD accelerator chip. You should also double check if the chip is listed in your device manager.

    Just a heads up for those who are considering purchasing this netbook, you may want to avoid it for the time being.
