Hello,
i am planning to buy a laptop. But since i have to carry it daily to college i decided to go with a lightweight ultrabook. I saw many of them but all sport a processor with a very low clock speed. I shortlisted one from samsung having amd a8 1.6ghz CPU and other lenovo having i3 1.8ghz processor.

I use heavy applications like photoshop, netbeans, autoCAD,video editing, casual games, etc. MY CONCERN IS THAT WILL THESE LOW SPEED CPU RUN ALL THE ABOVE APPS SMOOTHLY?? Also i plan to use the laptop for long term, so will that not become out dated quickly?

Thanx in advance.
