If the laptops does have an Intel mobile processor (p4-m, core(2) duo), a Intel chipset and a Intel wireless card (IPWxxxx) it has a Centrino logo. So does my Thinkpad with a Core Duo proc. There are also dual core Turions (called Turion 64 X2). > Which one is better to purchase ? (for the same price): > dual core or centrino/turion. I would buy a Core Duo. > Is the dual core really an advantage ? If you do a lot of compiling - yes. If you're using only one app at the same time, and this one isn't SMP-aware - no.
