[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 904756, member: 24160"] That machine will do what you're looking for. My wife uses the model prior to that one with a much cheesier video card. And still plays all of her games etc. just fine. If you're close to an Apple store, give 'em a call. Tell 'em you want to set up a personal shopper appointment. They'll give you an hour where you both can go in, play with it, ask questions, try a couple of hulu vids - if the hulu HD vids play fine you won't have any problem with Netflix. (Don't know if you can try Netflix in store since you have to install Silverlight to use it on a Mac.) Streaming videos with todays computers, typically are more about your connection than your equipment. Ask them to give you a tour of the software included - iPhoto - the new iTunes, etc. .... Man, I'm starting to sound like a fan boy... gotta stop now. [/QUOTE]
