What is the average frequency of a laptop that is for general use?

What is the average frequency, I'm comparing some computer and laptops for an assignment and just wondering what an aerag freq is. Many Thanks

Your question is formulated wrongly but I guess I know what you want: what's the lowest frequency needed by a laptop CPU so that it runs well for "average use".

Nobody can really tell you that because "average use" for me might mean a totally different thing than what it means for you; also my picky-ness might be greater than yours (or lower); the final point is that a CPU alone can't drive a smooth system -> a system with 2 Gb of RAM or with 4 gb of ram @ 1033 MHz or with a 5400 rpm HDD will run a lot slower than one with 8 Gb RAM @ 1600 Mhz and a 256/ 512 Gb SSD.

Let's say that it's acceptable (but not extremely smooth and by far not wow) a laptop with 7200 RPM, 8 GB of ram @ 1333 MHz (or more), any quad-core CPU that's the latest possible generation that's running @ 2 GHz.
