lol so how do you guys think this will handle ms office and stuff? ive seen all the same benchmarks as you have...i just wonder how responsive is this platform?

Don't know about all ms office but for things like PP presentations and graphics stuff within office it might be a good thing, look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4_pL0euVxQ, he mentions live transitions and animations only, but it's a start.

i just wonder how responsive is this platform?

Every review I have read so far stresses the fact, Zacate being more responsive than an Atom.

Yeah, all the reviews are saying that in Windows 7, it's very smooth and responsive, unlike Atom

thanks all...lol i just spent 8 hours with a zacate system (set it up for a friend)...it is unbelievable! sometimes there is an issue lag, but its mainly when a program is first loading....lol i didnt really wait for it to finish. either way its pretty good.

god43, what system is comparable to zacate you're using? like old athlon x2?

umm yes that would be a fair assessment, but it feels snappier than the old x2's.
