Meaning SLOW processing whatever you are doing. Click and wait...
I have experience this dogginess on new compacts Dell laptops (and other
brands) running XP with 1 gb RAM. I could be wrong but RAM shouldn't be
a factor until the point that it starts paging data / using the SWAP
file and that wasn't the case on my trials
I just think the designers of current laptops are making processing
power trade-offs that most people just live with. I usually use
desktops and find a 6 year desktop that originally was a powerful
machine can outperform a lot of these new lower to mid range laptops.

More powerful processors and machines have a longer lifespan and
involve transitioning between machines less often although buying a
gaming machine would be overkill if you aren't a gamer.
Laptops can be "doggy" because they are trying hard to extend battery
life. A less powerful processor saves power. So inexpensive laptops
can really be doggy...

Depends on your needs. I prefer the Latitude systems as they are
more business oriented, more ports (serial/Parallel) plus a separate
and more advanced Video system.
The difference between Celeron and Regular Pentiums is a little more
elusive.
Most of the Intels in laptops are M processors which are mobile
processors meant to run cooler.
Cache size tends to be the biggest difference between a Celeron and
regular processor.
That is all I can remember aobut them I am sure there is more.
