VLC is very bad at decoding MKV. SC2 is starcraft 2. Excellent since you're not playing games, it will serve your needs even better. So far this model from what ive studied, people dont really have complains save for the occasional set with the loose hinge. if you get one with loose hinge send it back.

Zac Neutral Newbie November 30, 2010 Share November 30, 2010 Don't ever load Windows 7 into Mac OS X via VMWare or Parallels. Took up more space then Snow Leopard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
