Earth-shattering? Nope. A viable alternative? Definitely.
I pretty much know what my next laptop will be based on now
Same battery life and Sandy Bridge wipes the floor with Llano. Llano only wins if you insist to run games on the integrated GPU. And it's only $10-20 cheaper than Sandy Bridge.

Hell, it's friday night, let's party!
Ok, my turn then?
"Sandy Bridge only wins if you insist on running Cinebench 24/7 on your laptop."
Next participant? Any taker? *hands out the microphone*
And erm, which only $10-20 more expensive SB wipes the floor in which context?

Can't wait to see these things in my home.
It's fast enough and also affordable. As far as I read with the power consumption it's also quite good, though of course depending on the environment and specific tests. A good step into the notebook market. Welcome, AMD, I waited far too long. Finally having the option for decent notebooks, working w. Linux and also having a fair/good battery runtime.
Before people often used AMD CPUs in sometimes rather shoddy things with horrible periphery so they often didn't last long in terms of battery.
The Llano introduction is something to celebrate for me (and everybody else, be them fanboys or not )Stop TCPA, stupid software patents and corrupt politicians!

I was waiting for Llano before release, but now it seems like a bad choice. Not only has AMD hinted that socket FM1 will go bye-bye after just llano, the proper update (Trinity) is promised shortly, in less than a year.
Will still consider one if the price is right though, I need a new machine. If not, it's a choice between dead socket & dead tech vs dead socket & dead tech - will go Athlon if it's cheaper.

Well the Socket AM2/+/3 compatibility was awesome. But in a notebook (sadly) there are normally not much options to change anything. Some might even be soldered directly to the mainboard. So then the socket format would not really matter that much.
Looks different on desktop though.Stop TCPA, stupid software patents and corrupt politicians!

Since AMD can only compete in the GPU segment, they now tell us CPU power is not important anymore. You'll excuse me if if don't buy that.
