    im planning to buy Tz-37 on my local store, with these specs :

    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor U7700 (1.33 GHz, FSB 533, Cache 2 MB) , 2 GB DDR2 SDRAM PC-4200, 100 GB 4200 RPM , DVD±RW, 56K Modem, GbE NIC, WiFi, Bluetooth, Fingerprint, VGA Intel GMA950 256MB (shared), Camera, 11.1" WXGA, Win Vista Business

    im wondering how powerful these specs to run application ?
    mainly i will use for college activities such as
    - word processing
    - office application
    - little bit running access queries
    - image editing
    - and watching dvds.

    and also, is it capable on doing multitasking ??

    pls give answers and advice.
    thanks and regards
    from indonesia

    It has a dual core CPU so it should be OK for multi-tasking - multi-tasking is where the single core U1500 in my G11 is a bit laggy. With a dual core CPU the hard disk is probably the performance bottleneck.

    You will have no problems running the applications indicated.

    There is a TZ with a HD 5400rpm? I thought was 100 GB 4200 rpm...

    I have the tz190 with ssd. I can do anything I want on it except hardcore gaming. Its a great multi-tasker, but why would you want that on such a small screen? Thats why i have a quad core machine with a 30" monitor.
