A Comparation between netbook and normal laptop in performance.

A Comparation between netbook and normal laptop in performance.

Intel Based Netbook ( X86 )
As we know, normally,Netbook has Intel Atom process, 2GB RAM, a 160GB hard disk. Netbook also can access to the Internet via Wifi, Bt or Rj45. In .. , That's a computer which has full function. Why does netbook can be sold in a  cheaper price? The most difference is performance.

Netbook ususlly use Intel Atom process.  It is a cheaper process and have a quiet small size.
There is some technology support about Atom process.

ARM Based Tablet


ARM Cortex-A8 processor is the first applications processor based on the ARMv7 architecture, and is the highest performance  developed by ARM , most power-efficient processor. Cortex-A8 processor's speed is 600MHz to over 1GHz can be adjusted within the range, to meet the needs of those working in less than 300mW power-optimized mobile devices requirements; and to meet those needs 2000 Dhrystone MIPS of performance-optimized consumer applications requirements.

It's widerly used in IPAD and Android PAD.
