    Is there anyway for a sony vaio TZ to run a 1080p file without lagging? Any software recommendations? I've got a targus docking station hooked up to my TZ with DVI to my full HD tv, was wondering i can output a 1080p file with the laptop.

    Yes 1080 is a no go for the TZ.

    The highest the GMA950 will handle natively is compressed 720p. And even then it's more about the processor.

    gma booster might help a little, but there is only so much you can do with an gma950
