      So does having Android on it make it cheaper, does having XP on it make it more expensive, or a little of both?

      Do I "know" if it can handle 720p MKV? No... But based upon a review for the Intel GMA950 Integrated Graphics Core (Which this model has) and given it's specs, I would say no.

      Review: http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,1821806,00.asp

      "If what you want is simply a system that can run standard office software, plus maybe play some DVD movies, then Intel's new graphics core is probably suitable."

      is mkv even GPU accelerated or would you always need a substantial CPU, more than an Atom at least, making the IGP irrelevant?
