Don't need to. I can read technical articles. The shiny new processor is basically an ARM Cortex A9 system on a chip with a slower graphics system than Nvidia provides for the Ion. . Basically a cell phone processor. So slow. No matter how much you want to twist and turn. It's still slow.
Another reason it can't be anything but slow is the fact that it uses a nine point something IPS LCD panel. Very nice, but a bit power hungry. And excluding some incredible new battery technology that Apple invented and kept to themselves, a 10 hour battery fitting into a device of that size demands that the rest of the machine be as power sipping as possible. So no big powerful processor, no huge storage, no large amounts of memory, no big graphics subsystem.
So tell me.. Why would I need to read a benchmark on a device with already published specifications.
People have been discussing the merits and drawbacks of an ARM based sub netbook for months. Most are saying it will be too slow to be worth using. Now they can find out. Before they fill that gigantic 16 gig of storage on a single tasking system.
