It comes with a Geforce 9400M chipset (Ion graphics chip). The 9400 chip can handle every video format supported by vdpau.. Yes even 1080p.
This system is equipped with an Atom N230, 1.6 GHz, single-core CPU and two gigabyte RAM. So when you're playing a video not supported by vdpau then the picture changes. In this case you will be able to play at max 720p videos. The CPU is way to slow to play 1080p.
A side note: VDPAU is basicly the nvideo hardware accelerated video decoder.
Atom N230, 1.6 GHz will die with most 720p using software decode, this is the single core atom not the dual core 330.
