Maybe, maybe not -- better CPU tends to burn more power, shortening battery run time, and isn't all that important for most things, especially with a graphics accelerator. I'd personally rather have an Atom (or the upcoming dual-core higher-speed ARM) with 8+ hour battery run time. The whole point of the Atom is low power drain. Small more powerful notebooks exist but have remained a niche market. -- John "Assumption is the mother of all screw ups." [Wethern๏ฟฝs Law of Suspended Judgement]
