This laptop should be able to use services like netflix and amazon prime without a hitch as it all you need for netflix is a flash-capable browser, and for amazon prime you just need to meet the specs of amazon's unbox video player. I had got my thinkpad from tampa laptops, and i have had know problems. The T400 I had received is both my workhorse and social/media experience, and I have no regrets.specs for amazon unbox video playerhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=3759

The Thinkpad Laptop series, from a general perfromance viewpoint, was designed as a professional computer blending transportability and processing power as priorities over entertainment. With that said, even though graphics processing is not a specific strength for this computer series, it will play DVD's and stream videos from any number of sources just fine (of course streaming performance is always dependent on network services, memory avaiability, etc.). If your primary focus is entertainment you can do better than a Thinkpad, however, if you are looking for a durable well rounded 'workhorse' computer that will retain its value over time, its hard to beat a Thinkpad.

Sorry I have no direct experience with Tampa Laptops (I would look to the Amazon user experiences to judge their performance - Good Luck)

It has apps for Netflix, Vudu, Blockbuster, but not Amazon Prime (at least not the model I purchased).

I truly hate when people provide uninformative, useless answers to questions.YES, it will let you watch Amazon Prime movies, including the free movies and TV shows available from the Amazon Prime subscription: I know, I use it. The built-in Primetime app integrates Netflix and Amazon (and Google Play videos and Redbox and your cable/satellite TV) into one app that is really a pretty nice way to see everything you have available through one app.

If you side load flash and use Firefox browser yes . When at Amazon.com go to your movie list and make your selection, when it brings up the player it will say not compatible just scroll down until you get to the bottom and click where it says amazon full site and then enjoy. Oh if you select full screen in the player it plays full screen

I personally would use MPC-HC to play movies on it. I can use that software to play any copy write protected movie, such as Disney or Warner Brothers movies. It plays the movie at whatever the refresh rate of the disk or graphics card your using can handle and it has amazing sound performance. It works just as good as if you were watching the movie on your TV.

There is no Amazon native app that I can see on it as of current firmware update. If the content you downloaded through Amazon isn't protected by any kind of DRM and is just a video file it will most likely play, this thing hasn't refused to play anything I've put in it so far. I just upload all the files to it via LAN and things play just fine.

Mine works like a charm. It even plays the m2ts file from the avatar blu-ray in full 1080p. It's a great product so far.

Hi there, You can definitely play Netflix without upgrade. Haven't tried the Amazon Prime video though. To upgrade it, you will have to download the new firmware at the Tronsmart official website (http://www.tronsmart.com/download - you can find instruction on how to do that here as well). Hope that helps.

This player is pretty basic and I don't think Prime is on it. It has Hulu and Netflix and maybe one or two others.

As far as I've been able to find out. You cannot get amazon movies using this player. I know there are quite a few movie apps including Netflix & Blockbuster and some others, but Amazon is definitley not one of them. Hope this helps.

I just signed up for Amazon Prime and have had my Panasonic DMP-BD89 player for 2 years. Is it compatible with this model yet?

According to this link (http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200238960), looks like you cannot play movies that you purchased from Amazon on this unit.
