SU7300 Question!

During my laptop search, I've run across a ton of machines which have this processor, the CULV 1.3GHz Core 2 Duo. I was wondering if there's anybody who has experience with this processor in the department of video and image editing (premiere and photoshop, for example). I'm mostly wondering if it's a good candidate for those applications.

Thanks!

 

it is not a good candidate for these operations... a quad core would help in cpu intensive tasks... this cpu is only for internet usage and light multi tasking... u can easily find laptops with quad core... example is hp pavilion Dv6t... comes with core i7 mobile quad core and NVDIA GT230M... for $1000 and less if u find bing cashback... many other quad core options... look around... also post in the below sub forum on what notebook u want to buy... we can then help u find a suitable notebook for u... link below

For video editing, I agree with sean473 - you need more HP unless you're the very patient type.

For light PS work ( not constantly using complex filters and/or plugins), this is acceptable, but remember these CULV platforms are meant first as long life (on battery) machines - the dual core CULV allows you to use them for more demanding work, but only at the 'light' end of the scale.

Cheers!

 

Thanks for the info guys. I guess I want it all in one (small) package -- long battery life with performance I can work with. I'm not exactly in the market for a new laptop quite yet, but this is just me doing a little poking around and gaining insight on the newish CULV platform.

It's interesting though, HP recently (today actually) released their updated tablet PC, the tm2t, and it features a SU7300 as the standard CPU, with an upgrade to the SU9600 available for an additional $250. It seems strange to me that they'd choose that processor for a device which begs to have artwork done on it.

I already have a main PC, so perhaps the 'light' end of things wouldn't be too bad.

 

Just because it's 'light' doesn't mean it is less 'art'.

That platform will run almost any software that is current, but like mentioned before, it's how patient you are that will define if it is enough HP for you.

Cheers!
