This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I've been trying to find a cheap N100 laptop to test, but I've tried some of their previous "economy core" powered machines and they neither get performance nor battery life. Race to idle is legitimately a good thing, but those machines are just too under powered to ever get to idle so they never get good battery life.
Under a load they get good battery life, but trying to use the computer as a computer they suck. One of these machines takes like 30 minutes for windows update to do a basic update. And the entire time the machine is unusably slow because of it. I installed linux on there and not having windows update ruining things made it tolerable, but still pretty bad for what on paper should have been enough.
I ordered mini pc equipped with N100 couple days back with intention to build home "NAS" with it and couple more services running. I think it's perfect for this, but don't have it in my hands yet.
