    That depends on how much performance and battery life you want.

    For me, at 2.5 GHz and 25 Watts, the P9500 is currently at the best point of balance, though it's expensive and less powerful processors should be sufficient for most tasks.

    Best is hard to answer cause it's subjective. The P9500 offers a nice balance unless money is an issue.

    It also depends in what you'll be using your laptop/desktop for.
    For some the Intel Celeron M 353 in the eeePC is the best since it covers all their needs, and provides them with a cheap and light weight system.

    I hope you mean comprises, not compromises. P8400 and P9500 both have the same TDP, so they would probably have a similar effect on your battery life. Now the question would be a choice of performance over value.
