not really, it's a desktop crammed in laptop shell...
dell inspiron 9100, has a desktop P4 3.2 dual core in it!
battery won't hold a charge, so its usefulness as a portable device are limited.
nice to have in a hotel room though when I am away from home, can still check all my mail, websites, and can maintain mine if need be. used it this summer to broadcast webcam stuff on vacation.
