Intel Celeron N2830  vs Atom Z3775 

It depends on your needs. If you want low power, no heat, and all day battery life, Atom is the way to go. If all you're doing is web surfing, which is actually what MOST people do, they work very well. When I ask customers what they use their computer for, they rattle off a list of things they do daily. Yet all of those tasks are performed in a browser. Max out the RAM, replace the HDD with SSD, and install Linux Mint xfce or Lubuntu. You'd be surprised how well they work for a very small investment. You can buy 32GB solid state drives for $30. RAM is also cheap if you don't already have some in a box. I always keep RAM, and I keep a few KingWin or other cheap Chinese SSDs around. Linux doesn't require much space. It comes with the Firefox browser, but you can easily install Chrome, Chromium, or Opera. I prefer Chromium. Now if you're a gamer, forget it. Neither of these processors will work. I also upgraded the NIC to a dual band. I use it for Wi-Fi site analysis. I love my little Netbook!

Not always. Look at the PassMark and other benchmark scores. A quad core Atom can beat a dual core Celeron. I have Netbooks with both. I run Linux Mint xfce on each, and I must say, they both perform quite well. Neither is a barn burner. A core i series could leave these in the dust. But the core i series costs a lot more, uses more power, produces more heat, and for some tasks really isn't that much faster. A customer gave me an Atom based netbook that she said was too slow to do anything. She said if I could use it, I could have it. I doubled the RAM, replaced the hard drive with an SSD, and installed Linux. Now I love this little guy! For general web surfing and light office work it's great! I even took a chance on it the other day and decided to try editing a photo with GIMP. I thought for sure that would choke it, but it worked very well.

agree ass but neither is goot actually thats like comparing 2x crap and deciding which smells more

celeron is much faster u idiots
