I still have penryn based laptop, it's good for office stuff and internet (it still has intel GMA graphics). But I think that the OPs comparison was not correct, the C-60 etc are crap chips, the atoms are same. People got used to over a years that flagship CPUs get better with every new generation, but that doesn't go for the rest. Even for few generations behind, it just doesn't make sense to compare desktop CPU with ULV netbook CPU. Even the newest phones and tablets and all that stuff have problem quickly viewing and compiling simple stuff like websites, while computers never had this problem regardless how old they are. Such a scaling is just not reasonable since the applications for these chips vary greatly.
