    Flash content seems to be choppy with low frame rate on the recently purchased the z930 – especially with NBA TV which runs on flash. I've installed the latest intel HD 4000 drivers but the problem still exists. However 720HD video files run perfectly. I cant seem to find any solutions on the adobe forums.

    Is there any solution to boost the performance?

    Is upgrading to Windows 8 going to solve the issue?

    When you say 720 video files, do you mean files on your computer hard drive? And the flash content is streaming video?

    If so, it could be an internet [ISP] issue, considering most flash videos are internet based. Instead of using wifi, try plugging your computer into an internet cord and see if the problem still exists.
    Also make sure your Adobe Flash software has the latest update.

    As for Win8, I don't think it will boost anything; problem doesn't seem to be OS related.


    Good luck and keep us posted

    Dam that's a friggin good tip!

    I should be using wired connection for nba tv since its high quality streaming. But I have no clue how to make the wired connection have priority over wireless on the z930. I'll be back when I find out

    720HD file was streamed wirelessly via home network. Fantastic frame rate with no hiccups.

    Cheers mate!

    Edit: Got the wired connection working. But same result. Tried with chrome and firefox with most up to date flash + reinstalling. Sucks since my ipad 2 can run it much smoother wirelessly. Which begs why the more powerful ultrabook should perform worse.
