how fast is it?

[qandaseeker]

hi, im thinking of purchasing the HP 2133 Mini Notebook, it has a VIA C7-M ULV Processor (1.20GHz).

i dont know how fast this processor is, but if i purchase it, i use it for work, internet and maybe watch some movies from the hard drive. the only processors ive used are Intel and AMD and both are fab!

when it says it is 1.20GHz, is that the same as intel's 1.20GHz processor?

thank you for all the advice

Some benchmarks here:

It seems to perform reasonably well compared with other mobile processors, but its major advantage would seem to be in reduced power consumption, and hence longer battery life.

The VIA processors are ok for Windows, but pretty dodgy for anything else.

If you can get a laptop with Intel's Atom, you'd be better doing that.

what models do you sugst with the intel atom prcessor?

[fo3nix]

Any. They're all good, and you won't notice a difference between them.
