“TV Shows and Movies? Does this tablet play TV Shows/Movies well? For Example: Netflix, Amazon Prime Instant Video, Hulu Plus? I want a nice travel device, preferably under $500, that can surf the web, check email, light Microsoft Office work (MS Word, MS Excel), but can also play apps/games, TV shows, music and movies. Not sure if this is best device for that or not.”

Yup Netflix and Amazon Prime Video were the first thing I loaded. Get a USB hub and you can add an external USB CD\DVD drive
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you can access it using chrome, then you can view it on this tablet. Otherwise, look for apps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes I watch Netflix and Hulu, well my kids watch it more than I do. I don't have amazon video account so I cant say for sure if you can or cannot watch amazon videos
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes video playback is great. The display is excellent quality and dual band wi-fi is very strong. Currently Windows 8 has Netflix and Hulu Plus apps, but not Amazon Prime. However in my experience Amazon Prime does work fine through the standard web browser and the playback controls are not difficult to use with touch in the modern IE browser. As long as you stick to the Windows store for mobile gaming it should be fine for that as well. Due to the battery capacity/display quality of this tablet I do not believe there is a more capable device on the market for watching video and gaming.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I wondered the same as you, because one of the main uses for me is video playback and it does indeed play 1080p videos smoothly, no stuttering no lagging or anything, even played some 4k files I had which played just fine as well. Web browsing is totally smooth, all with Office as well, when it comes to games I've only tried some games I downloaded from the W8 store such as Sonic and it ran it pretty good but do mind this tablet will do as much as some light gaming since it's running on Intel HD graphics so don't expect miracles, there's a gaming review on Youtube if you're interesed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you can stream your favorite movies and the 32GB storage capacity provides ample space for your apps, music, movies and more
