The Register Hardware have published their review of the Packard Bell EasyNote Butterfly Notebook PC. 'The 13.3in LED screen has a resolution of 1366 x 768 so you can, in theory, watch HD movies. Things are slightly more complicated in practice, as you need to use the USB drive to watch regular DVDs with the bundled copy of CyberLink PowerDVD 8 - complete with nags to upgrade to the new version 9. If you want to watch HD movies, you'll need to use a player such as QuickTime and this is where things get messy; at the native movie resolution of 1280 x 720 the movie fits the screen however the control buttons vanish off the bottom and out of sight.'
