Could this MSI Wind play 1080p?

Hola, guys! I've been keeping an eye out for a small, inexpensive system that could serve as a media player and have stumbled onto this MSI Wind:

The price is great, and the specs look decent but would it be enough to play 1080p?

It should be able to once you use the right video player (MPC-HC)

Yeah, according to ATI the HD 4330 that the Wind has should be able to play back 1080p.

So the processor doesn't really matter when it comes to decoding?

As long as the software you're using to watch the video supports GPU acceleration, the processor doesn't play a very big role. That's why ION-based Atom systems were able to play HD video files, and similarly so can these Atoms with an appropriate ATI GPU.
