600mW sound like an aweful little for desktop use. I can't fathom
javascript loading speeds in such a package. For reference my phone
has a 3 watt chip( lg g3, snapdragon 801, 28nm) and I do notice some
lag with webpages. Now granted the high rez screen (1440 x 2560)
doesn't help but 600mW vs 3 W looks like a big drop.
