  This thing is hardly any better than the Compaq 621 I got in 2011… what happened to progress?

      No, I think it was $500. Fair point though.

      N2830 is actually slower than Core 2 Duo T6600 (2009 era)

      http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/compare/916976?bas…

      then again the Atom only runs off a measly 6 watts of power and a Core 2 Duo requires at least 35 watts. It may be a slow-ass CPU but the power efficiency is pretty darn insane.

      Anyway word on the street is that Bay Trail is getting a "Tick" die shrink to 14nm (Cherry Trail) in 2015. It may not be any faster but rumours are that the GPU will be much better.

        My Compaq 621 is a Pentium dual core 2.3 GHz. So slower than Core 2 Duo. I also previously owned a Core 2 Duo laptop which used only 25W, not 35W.

  Unbelievable, to think laptops used to cost ten times as much. That is what I call progress.

    Your memory doesn't go back very far. I remember laptops costing around $4,000 for entry-level models in the late 90s. That's 16 times the price.

      You remember wrong. Entry level models were sub $1000 in the late 90s.

      Er, late 80's yes, late 90's no.

        Wrong. $4000 in late 1997. Got my first laptop for that price for school after I'd finished year 10. It was an entry level Pentium 133 MMX with 32MB RAM, 2GB HDD, and 12.1" DSTN display (800x600). For a faster CPU with larger TFT display you were looking at nearly $6,000.

        @MrZ: That wasn't exactly an entry level device at the time, but even then you got super ripped off :P

        @kamoi: There may have been slightly cheaper models for around $3500, but nothing less than that. These cheap models generally used older non-MMX CPUs which were already obsolete by that point, such as the P150. A P133 MMX was definitely entry level at the time, though. Obviously Celeron wasn't around then. Higher end models were 200/233 MMX.
