at the most. There are now eeePC's with VIA orIntel (Atom) CPU,s.
The latter should be faster.

I've read that Atom will be for less power consumption.
Which is how it aims for very portable devices.

The increased loading probably is the result of the disk type.
These computers use memory cards instead of hardware hard drives.

OK thanks.
Some site writes about a 'small silent fan'; which is absurd.
Even the mention of legs/spacers to allow air circulation
shows that the CPU is inappropriate for pocket-size.
Intel is based on the US model of brute-force & ignorance.
But they seem to be chasing the low-power-consumption
devices now.

I can't quiet understand how applications which assume
a standard aspect-ratio display would handle the eeePC,
unless you can flip the view up & down ?
