[Arm-netbook] Selecting the right Soc for out ARM Notebook project.

[krasi gichev]

OK, so in order have something usable, you had modified yours Toshiba
with SSD and so on, so this is price add up. And you say that A9 will
beat atom - probably, but surely not the single core A8 of Allwinner
A10. You need at least nice dual core A9 (or even quad core) to be
able to compete with atoms (speaking about performance). Battery life
will benefit from ARM, that's true. There comes the tablets - you get
good mobility (battery life + form factor and weight).
You say that you use T60 - for work I prefer 24" and above screen. You
cannot convince me that DPI of 1920x1080 of 10-12" screen is usable
for whole day work.

You have your points, just my 5 cents - single core Allwinner A10 is
not enough for what you want to do. It makes sense if the SoC it at
least atom-comparable (so say dual or quad core ARM).
