About the notebook in this link:
http://itempage.auction.co.kr/detailview.aspx?itemNo=A078096575&frm=best5&frm2=through

Is this a new notebook?

Is that a good price for the specs provided?

Can I get a similar deal at Yongsan?

Would that notebook be sufficient for watching streaming video online without any "skipping or jumping"?

Yup I dont know much^^

Probably a decent enough notebook for the money. If you want to know more about it...

You are talking about your internet connection? Watching streaming video online is dependent on many factors:

1: Your Internet connection
2: The site you are get the video from.
3: Latency on the net
4: So many things....


It is not just your computer that affects the quality. If you are getting lag during the streaming process...it may not be you.

Wow thanks for the replies
Very helpful

Yeah my internet connection sucks but I think my notebook is too old to handle streaming properly too

Thanks to both posters
