Netbooks - 1.3 ghz processors

[Monk]

@PyariCgudia

Hi guys,

So I bought this little Toshiba laptop which I am in love with, on a pre-black Friday sale for like 500 dollars and I am really reluctant to return it. I have the weekend to decide, but still.

So, I come home, and I look up the specs to make sure it has an ethernet card in it and somehow I guess the store didn’t advertise this thing has a 1.3 ghz processor. It is a pentium intel processor, so I picked up thinking, ok, well that’s a solid processor. I didn’t think to check the speed, but apparently, all these small netbooks are that slow.

So, my question is, for a person like me - is 1.3 going to be too slow?

I predominantly use my comp for:

emails

web surfing - gs, checking shopping ads, playing music from pakmusic and other such sites, i’ll have like 10 windows open at once while i’m working

powerpoints

word doc

that’s like 99% of my usage. Sure, from time to time, I’ll need to use excel.

Is 1.3 ghz fast enough for these functions??

Or should I think about returning it?

Processor is just fine.
Most process intense applications are movies/games and to some extent voice processing.
But dont tell me its that solidstate harddrive 9 inch screen computer?? cuz those should be some whare around 300$.
