Centrino 2 issues - 65% CPU to playback a DVD They're working on fixing the drivers. If it's still like this at launch it will be a disappointment for buyers, to say the least. When you claim 6 hours of battery life, it's best to be able to get through a 90 minute DVD without the battery crapping out. As we mentioned earlier in this article, we couldn't get the hardware video decode acceleration working properly on the GM45's integrated graphics. We used a beta version of Cyberlink's PowerDVD 8 Ultra (v8.0.1903.50) with support for GM45, but when playing back Gone Baby Gone we ran into some issues. CPU utilization did go down, but so did our frame rate. It was almost as if the video decode engine was only decoding half of the frames, the stuttering was that bad. Granted this is pre-release hardware, with pre-release drivers and a pre-release Blu-ray player, but going back to what we originally said - we expected a little more polish less than 30 days away from availability. anandtech.com
