my cousin needs a new laptop before she heads off to college pretty soon.

and this computer here is the best i could find so far. with a core duo T2050. now i here that the core duo 2 should be in laptops by the end of august so im wondering if i should pass up the deal above or wait a month. ive also heard that the duo and duo 2 will be the same price, anyone know if this is true? by searching this forum i noticed the perforance increase is ~20% so this is a big plus.

You should decide if it is worth the wait then. Either one will be great/awesome for school.


If you were smart enough to use the search function, you should have just posted in the threads you found instead of making a new one.

I would wait. Merom should be pretty sweet and hopfully cooler as well.
