The VIA C3 is a Pentium-compatible processor, typically on par with a
PII about half it's speed, give or take. They tend to be popular with
the quiet PC crowd (and some of the blade server people) because they
can be run fanless.
They're extremely low power processors (10W consumption for the 1GHz C3)
so there's some potential for battery life to be OK, though the
processor usually isn't the largest power draw in a laptop (unless you
have a P4m, which can *dissipate* up to 8W of power while in sleep mode
and 35W number crunching -- though potentially with 4x the performance).
