The title of the page is:
ASUS N10JC-A1 ATOM N270 XPHOME 1GB-DDR2,160G,NO ODD,CAMERA 10.2"WSVGA
LED,GMA950+NV 9300M (N10JC-A1)

I assume NV 9300M means nvidia 9300M video.

Lots of reviews of that machine confirm that it has an nvidia 9300M
video chip with 256MB ram.

Apparently it is capable of decoding 720 and 1080p video as long as the
playback software takes advantage of the nvidia video decoding hardware.
That might also explain why it has an HDMI output.

The 9300M isn't super fast, but it is way beyond what the GMA950 is
capable off.
