Ok I'm some what in the market for a full windows based tablet or one of those laptop/tablet split apart things. Ok so I went to best-buy to look at a bunch of them. I came across a HP x2 split with 2GB of ram and an i3 processor that was the Yseries(low power). ok this was either a duel core with H.T or a legit 4 core. it had a max clock speed of 1.6ghz but even on full power mode it was capping its self off at .9ghz. I was able to run 5 HD videos streaming and have other apps open in the background. All of this was butter smooth.

how is this possible. There was no slow down at all. I could do this on my home pc which is an A8 ( duel 3.5ghz w/ H.T) 8GB RAM . But to run that on such a low clock speed and low ram? can someone explain? same goes for the asus transformer book that is new. it was a quad atom processor that's 1.3 - 1.8ghz, 2GB and its able to handle so much.

My guess is that your HD videos aren't so HD after all.

well i mean 2 were from gamespot running in "HD" and 3 were from youtube @"1080p". plus a bunch of programs i opened in the back ground. either way, thats alot of pressure to put on a cpu, let alone a low powered cpu.
