W7 Media Center on X131 or other X1xx?
W7 Media Center on X131 or other X1xx?
Has anyone tried running Win7's Media Center on one of these laptops hooked up to 1080p HDTv via HDMI? I'm about to buy/build a little NUC-like PC for a bedroom media PC attached to a large external drive and was wondering if these little thinkpads are able to drive a HDTV and play up to 1080p ripped videos given that off eBay they can be much cheaper than building a small PC. Anyone tried this yet?

Re: W7 Media Center on X131 or other X1xx?
In case you are looking for an X131e, I have one for sale: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=116187
It has W7 Ultimate/SP1 64-bit installed.
It also has this Media Center, but I do NOT have a HDMI cable to connect to a TV.
Anything else I could do to see if your wish would come true?
