After 3 weeks using a laptop with a 4-core i7 processor and enjoying the speed with which everything happens, I can't see such low power processors having an advantage where a real computer is needed.  Tablets, phones, sure, they need the battery life, but waiting for web pages to finish rendering due to wimpy processors is no fun.

Have you actually tried to install Dos on an i7 or six core xeon?
