It's not zippy, mind you. It is, after all, a fairly underpowered computer, and my expectations of it are rather modest, so I rarely push it with my Mathematica usage. Not to mention that I'm often running it on battery and I believe it's default mode throttles down the CPU's max speed (I'm not certain of that, though...it just hasn't mattered to me that much to confirm it). For doing "integral computing, graphic plots, solving systems of questions", it'll probably be just fine, as long as the integrals, plots, and systems of equations aren't super-sized.
