kingka, "near perfect web-browsing" is sooo subjective. It depends on the user's expectations and tolerance threshold.

Personally, I wish the web experience were zippier BUT I'm not gonna complain. I have a dual Opteron CPU, 4-gig beast of a workstation at home that chews through the toughest sites with ease. But guess what? It damn well had better given the specs!

Then I compare that monolithic monstrosity to the oh-so-small tablet in my hand that demands patience from some sites I frequent (ebay and CNN are the worst). Okay. Well, no dual 2 GHz CPUs... no 4 gig ram... no Directx10 video card... no gigabit LAN card... eh, makes sense to lower my expectations from the desktop to the palmtop, right?

I quite frankly don't understand why others struggle with this (not saying you).
