It's weakness? Flash. Flash sucks. Netbooks, those machine designed to explore the web-on-the-go, suck because flash exists. For some reason, Intel puts these run-of-the mill Atom processors in these things. Their power-requirements are pretty much equivalent to the 1.3GHz CULV (Consumer Ultra Low Voltage) Core 2 Duo processors we're seeing in CULV laptops, but the Core 2 Duos absolutely PANTS the Atom!
Flash is a fantastic tool for developing content - it ruins the web-experience. I don't think I was the only one disappointed with GPU enabled flash 10.1. Does flash still have a chance?
One thing for certain, Intel is making a splash with it's new 32nm CULV processor designs. Maybe I'm due for an upgrade sooner then I thought - maybe adobe will get's it's junk in gear and build a competitive and satisfying platform. It's interesting how monopoly's fall so hard so fast due to lack of innovation.
