It's closer to a RPi 4 than RPi 5 for CPU performance, and neither GPU has much in the way of video transcoding hardware. Something as simple as 1080p60 H.264 playback may be beyond the capabilities of that machine.

- wtallis 2y agoI think most people would generally expect their laptop (especially a high-end model) to be capable of playing a video shot on their phone. But today's low-end phones have much more powerful processors than that old laptop.
- PittleyDunkin 2y agoI think most would likely watch the video on their phone itself.
- achierius 2y agoI don't think it's unreasonable for people to expect to be able to tag their photos on their laptop, no? It's a very common workflow which is nevertheless kind of a pain to do on a mobile device.
- comex 2y agoPersonally, I often use my laptop to watch game footage (with commentary) on YouTube or Twitch. That’s not a use case everyone will care about, but it’s quite a popular one.

- userbinator 2y agoSomething as simple as 1080p60 H.264 playback may be beyond the capabilities of that machine. A 1st-gen i7 (2008) can decode 1080p60 H.264 in software in realtime. Been there, done that.
