Cheap. Fast. Effective. Wonderful integrated graphics. A lot of people like to crap on laptop CPUs because they're not as powerful as desktop ones, but that's kind of the point - with a laptop you're trading raw power for portability, and with this CPU you can get excellent performance while retaining the ability to actually take that performance with you. Can't just pack up a whole tower and bring it with you somewhere else without considerable effort, whereas with a laptop you can just shove it in a bag and head out.
