Interesting. I really wanted the E350 in the HP dm1z when I first saw it at best buy for less than 400.00. I thought it was an ideal processor for a small form factor.
I am surprised that you found it worked so well in a 15.6 inch notebook. I always thought it would be a bit underpowered for the larger chassis, but maybe I was wrong. Glad that you are happy with it.
Personally, I would probably go for Llano in a 15 in or above form factor, and try to find the E350 (E450, whatever) in a small form factor like an upgraded netbook. The HP dm1z seems to have dried up and/or is expensive now.
Agreed.
i had a 350 max (for parents) and the e350 was 329 delivered with 500gb HD. i bought the i3 for myself with 640gb HD, extra large batt for 426.00. both great deals! gave the e350 to parents and sold the i3 for bit more.
For me; (beyond a middle lvl processor) future-proof = GPU horsepower, and MUST have GOOD battery life
i will try to hold out til trinity, but im not sure i will be able to wait that long. we'll see next year if not delayed!!! otherwise, optimus (or A8) with extra large battery
