yeah dont get me wrong I loved that 1400 it was my first laptop, but yeah it never really seemed all that fast. What I was trying to get at about the 6100 was that it could go beyond it's capabilities pretty decently. I remember it could still run games like Age of Empires or Diablo and stuff even when it was already 4-5 years old.

I mean it didn't run them like a new system would, but if you turned down the the graphics they'd definitely be playable.

With the 1400 I always kinda expected more, like i'd want to turn up the graphics and it wouldn't run very well. I guess I kinda felt like it didn't give as much effort as the older one, like it was this lazy hotshot that didn't try very hard. 6100 was the gritty hard working veteran you could always count on.

I guess I felt the same way about the cube. I got a mac mini to replace it in 2008 and while it was obviously way better i still found myself thinking "why can't this do 1080p video? this thing is brand new" while being really happy that the cube could still stream low quality movies from the web at all.
