Intel Atom is the brand name for a line of ultra-low-voltage IA-32 and x86-64 microprocessors by Intel Corporation. Atom is mainly used in netbooks, nettops. Long answer: The Intel Atom processor is a very low-power, low-performance processor intended for netbooks that don't run processor-intensive programs. Nokia 5230 Firmware Update V51.0.002. AutoCAD is one. You would like to know if Autodesk software is supported on systems using Intel Centrino processors. Solution Yes, Autodesk software is supported on systems using.

Any dual-core modern Intel CPU should be fine (laptop or otherwise) unless you have heavy tasks which it doesn't sound like you have. Not sure what you mean by 'work' though.

If it's just word processing, internet, or presentations then you're fine. If it's 3D work of any kind it would be slower than a quad-core. *FYI, not all i5 CPU's are quad-core. They are in desktop. There are also dual-core i7 CPU's. Also, some of the dual-core CPU's are Hyperthreaded which boost performance.

The FREQUENCY of the CPU also matters if comparing two different computers. For example, a dual-core CPU with hyperthreading that is about 2.5GHz can perform quite well. HT can add up to 30% more processing if the program can use it. (You can google 'intel CPU name' and click the Intel site for the exact model. You can tell if it's a hypertheaded CPU if it has double the THREADS as it does CORES.

Such as 2C and 4T.). Something like THIS may serve you: Main points: 1) 17' @1600x900 Large screen likely important. 1920x1080 would be a bit better but would cost more. 1600x900 does still look pretty good. 2) CPU: 2C 4T (dual-core with hypertheading) *Note it can turbo up to 2.7GHz whereas I saw some that had no Turbo and ran at 1.7GHz. Here's where you can confirm, threads, cores and Turbo frequency: 3) Look for customer feedback as well if possible (none here as it is new). The rest of it's pretty basic.

I didn't know your budget but it sounded like price was a concern. I think this would be a very good laptop.
