Which Model for Streaming Flash Video?

Looking to pick up a notebook for almost the sole purpose of hooking up to an HDTV over HDMI and watching online streaming video. I was looking at the dv2z but the slower processor was a concern for Flash-based video and other processor intensive streaming video. Am I safe going with the dv2z, or should I be looking at the dv3z? Or even the dv4t? All three seem to be in the same approximate price range. More compact is better, but acceptable performance is most important. Any thoughts?

 

Still hoping for some input

 

The review on this site says the dv2 can do 1080P blue ray. Its has a ati 3410 graphics with 512mb. I'd say for streaming flash the dv2 should be able to without any sweat. The build quality and design on the dv2 are good. There is some debate about the build quality on the dv3. And the dv4, even though its a 14" is a bit heavy for a 14". For your needs, the DV2 sounds like the ticket. But remember that model does not have a built in optical drive but comes with a external one.. That whole design looks really nice IMO. Don't worry that its only a single core. The ati gpu more then makes up for what you want it to do. If you want to do 5 things at once and do allot of multitasking then choose one of the other two and get a core 2.


Edit:
Oh sorry, i just read its not fast enough to do HD flash Video.. so better look at the other two.

 

Right, for stuff like Blu-Ray that can take advantage of the dedicated graphics card, the dv2 seems fine. But I had read some mixed opinions on how well the weaker processor could handle streaming video when it couldn't rely on the graphics card, like in the case of the Flash stuff.
