I have a slow as shit X120e with the E-240. With Windows 7 and allegedly the lightest browser I can find, K-Meleon, it still can't even play 360p YouTube videos smoothly. It plays 1080p local videos just fine, so I would imagine 360p YouTube should be no problem. What should I change?
I'm locked out of the BIOS and SecureBoot is on so I'm stuck with Windows 7.
Does that browser properly support hardware acceleration? I'm thinking that for some reason its using the CPU to decode the video instead of passing it off to the hardware video decoder.
It could also be that YouTube is sending you VP9 video and that processor does not have support for VP9: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Video_Decoder#UVD_3
If VP9 is the issue I'm not sure of the best way to fix that, might have to stream the video with some other player instead of doing it in a browser or download it with another program.

It is supposed to. It's based on Firefox, I believe. How can I check if video is VP9?

Right click a video and select "Stats for Nerds" you should get a popup telling you what it is.
Get rid of that dinosaur laptop.
