Here's what Dell says:

"When compared to the Atom N270 processor, commonly used for netbooks, the Intel Celeron® 723 processor improves productivity by up to 40%(7) and has up to a 39%(8) better CPU performance."

And the footnotes read:

(7) "Based on BAPco SYSmark 2007 Preview testing by Dell Labs in July 2009 comparing an Inspiron Mini 10v system with an Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB of system memory, and 128MB graphics memory to an Inspiron 11z with an Intel Celeron 723 processor, 2GB of system memory, and 780MB of graphics memory. Actual performance will vary based on configuration, usage and manufacturing variability of doing day to day activities like data analysis and common office applications."

(8) "Based on Futuremark PCMark2005 testing by Dell Labs in July 2009 comparing an Inspiron Mini 10v system with an Intel Atom N270 processor and 1024MB of memory to an Inspiron 11z with an Intel Celeron 723 processor and 2047MB of memory.

Nonsense. For the stuff typical students need for study (Word, a PDF viewer, researching on the web), any netbook is absolutely fast enough, and it's also good enough for the majority of other things normal people do on a small netbook (play music, watch DVD rips, Facebook, Twitter, light photo editing etc).

Flash-heavy sites, higher-res Flash videos, HD videos and games are the only things that cause problems on an Atom-based system, and as nobody is going to use a netbook as only computer or gaming machine (or need HD video playback on a 10" screen, for that matter), that's really not a big deal imho.]]>Aug 18th 2009 11:30AM
