Asus Ux50

Hey Guys, I´m wondering if you could help me out.

I´ve looking at the ASUS UX50 and I like what I see so for. I like the smoothness, but when it gets to specs I´m not the greatest, and I get confused.

I´m looking at the specs, and it says that the processor is only 1,4 GHz. .

That gets me confused, because my IBM T42 I bought in 2005 is currently running 1,7 Ghz. (Intel Pentium M Processor).

Also, I have been looking at macooks, and their processors are 2 GHz + so.

So. To sum it up. I´ll ask 2 questions.

1) Could anybody explain the differences, and is the 1,4 GHz a slow processor? (The total specs are below, (sorry it´s in Danish))


2)I am also wondering if I could do any multimedia work on the UX50. (Photoshop, Mbox ProTools, Some video/photo editing) All of it is in limited ammounts though. Not extensive and real heavy work.


* Intel Core 2 Solo ULV SU3500 processor (1,4 GHz)
* 4 GB DDR2 RAM
* 500 GB SATA harddisk (5400 rpm)
* 15,6 HD skærm (1366 x 768)
* 512 MB dedikeret grafkRAM (nVidia GT105M)
* Super Multi DVD brænder
* Trådløst .N netkort
* 1,3 megapixel webkamera
* HDMI
* Numerisk tastatur og Bluetooth
* 8-i-1 kortlæser
* Windows Vista Home Premium

I would be very glad if you could help me figure it out.

Thank you!
