Fast Netbook Systems?

Here is a fairly extensive chart of mobile processor benchmarks:

The processors are ranked from fastest to slowest:

1-49: Current peak of notebook processor performance, won't be phased by most uses

50-99: Mostly processors from the last generation (~2 year old performance) with good performance, won't be phased by most uses

100-199: Low end processors from the last generation (~4 year old performance) with acceptable performance, shouldn't be phased by general computing

200-299: Processors from 3 generations back (~6 year old performance) with poor performance, may be stressed by multimedia heavy web browsing and general multitasking

300-399: Low end processors from 3 generations back and netbooks (~8 year old performance) with bad performance


None of the netbooks have quick performance yet. My 6 1/2 year old laptop has much better performance. AMD will be introducing some very promising processors for netbooks before the end of the year. I would wait for them if at all possible to benefit from the increased performance and increased competition in the marketplace.
