HDCP stands for High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection, a copy protection scheme to eliminate the possibility of intercepting digital data midstream between the source to the display. The format designed by Intel and licensed by Digital Content Protection, LLC using an authentication and key exchange procedure before video and audio is presented. Products compatible with the HDCP scheme such as DVD players, satellite and cable HDTV set-top-boxes, as well as few entertainment PCs requires a secure connection to a compliant display, the process often described as the handshake. Due to the increase in manufacturers employing HDCP in their equipment, it is highly recommended that any HDTV you purchase is compatible. Although most video devices support high-definition video over component output, analog connections are scheduled to phase out in the future or possibly forced to limited resolutions output.

I was just going to buy the Acer Aspire One AO722-C52kk to replace my old aspire one but now i don’t know if i will still be able to download and stream movies using the HDMI port because i don’t understand whaf “hdcp support” really means. And movies is one of the main four things i use my netbook for. Does it mean they have put a spy thingy in so i cant watch ALL these movies that i have on my tv? I buy some and some i don’t. About 60/40. I’m sorry if my question is dumb but i wanted to get it right away.

Comment on Acer Aspire One AOD255E-13639 Review by Alex

The AOD255E-13639 is one of the cheapest computers available. List price is typically about $250 but I got one for under $200. It’s a decent value for the price, but make no mistake about this being a CHEAP computer, with the usual problems that you would expect from a low-cost device. The speed is about what you’d expect from an Intel Atom CPU, and the display is only 1024×600. Battery lasts about 2 hours. Keyboard is fine, but the touchpad isn’t great. It’s a typical cheap touchpad moulded into the case and it’s easy for your finger to slip off the edge. The supposed multi-touch support doesn’t actually work. The wifi is slow and sometimes doesn’t connect. The signal is weak and never gets more than about 150K/sec. Webcam is fine. The CPU does support a 64-bit OS, and Ubuntu runs fine if you’re not satisfied with Windows 7 Starter. Overall it’s a decent buy if you want a “throwaway” laptop and don’t mind using an external USB wifi adapter.

The furore here reminds me of the reaction to Sim City Societies.
This incarnation of Civilization falls woefully short of its predecessors in many respects. It looks “lovely”, but lacks any depth compared to Civ 5. 4/10
