    I'm really considering this computer because I like the form factor, size, matte screen, screen resolution, backlit keys, etc. My needs are basically good battery life, portable, and also able to handle work like a champ. I do most of my work which is programming, design (Adobe Fireworks) and database design on a desktop with bigger screens. For gaming that can stay on the desktop also so I don't really need a dedicated GPU.

    What I'm wondering about are the ULV processors, and if they'll be able to handle software such as the Adobe suite without breaking a sweat.

    Would I be much better off with a full-power processor for this kind of work?
