avoid
its strongly recommended that you avoid the E/1/2 or G,C,Z range or any bobcat processors as they are to under powered and should Not be in an full size laptop and close to or worse then an atom processor (thats why Intel do not allow atom cpus in any thing But an netbook as it make them look bad if it was in an laptop)
if getting AMD CPU get the A4,A6,A8 or FX bulldozer or the K10 cpus
if getting intel Any dual core or higher cpu is fine (as long as its not an atom or an single core cpu)
Pick the cpu for Job
In terms of cpu horsepower it might not satisfy your desires but gpu in the apus is strong enough to decode a high profile full-HD movie which atoms suffer and accelerate some programs like office,video conversion,winzip.If you plan to pick a htpc,7/24 small home server or download machine this apus are great choice around.
underpowered? please...
I have been using a Lenovo S205 netbook with an E350 APU for 2 years now and I'm still impressed with it. As the person before me stated, full HD video decoding is no problem at all and neither is most of the other work. I use it for office work, programming, compression experiments, watching videos and even gaming. The graphics chip is powerful enough to play most recent games on low detail but in the display's native resolution and that is astonishing! I also tested a newer model APU a year later (E2 or 450, don't know) and I was able to run games with medium details now and in even higher resolutions. APUs are pretty impressive and do pump out power when needed. I wouldn't hesitate to throw one into a desktop machine for those friends and family members who mainly surf the web and barely play games at all.
