Intel Core Solo and Intel Core Duo are basically the Pentium 5 under a nice, confusing name, right?

Intel Core Duo is a dual core processor; Core Solo isn't, obviously.

I don't know if there were major architectural differences in the different families of pentium processors, but there were Pentium 4 dual core processors out months ago.  I don't necessarily think they could be called "Pentium 5", but I could be wrong.

I like the way that laptop looks. :D  That's as much as I can say about this laptop. :D

And P.S.
We have a Compaq laptop and it's great.. I think you guys are just special. :D

I'll bet that's why they replaced the battery on both of them.

When you have a machine that unreliable in such a short amount of time, you begin to wonder if it was worth the price, even given the limited time warranty.


You seem to have missed my joke; Rabbit said they sucked at life, and I just assumed since it was inanimate it would be battery life. Get it, sweety? <3 ;) :-*

Yeah. I am still using a Dell notebook that is about 5 years old; still in near perfect conditions.

I'm too poor to afford a new computer :(.

I think when my current notebook's warranty expires I'm going to set it up as a server somewhere and then pick up one of those 12" Toshiba tablets.

Just got it today! :)

I really like it.  The screen is huge! O_O

There's a hotel right next to my house.  I think the tool that set up its wireless network was pretty stupid -- he didn't enable WEP.  Free intarweb for me!  I'm downloading the WoW patch across it as I post this.  I don't know if it's common for smaller hotels (that don't buy the software that requires validation or something similar to prove that you've paid a fee) to leave WEP disabled, but I'm not going to complain! :D

I'll have to update this after I play WoW.  My 1.5 year old computer can play it with the graphics cranked @ a pseudo-stable 30 FPS (the video card is newer; it's a NVidia 6800 GT -- this laptop has a 7800 Go), so it'll be interesting to see the performance difference.

You never got back to us on the update, pssh!

So I just recently got a laptop, its very nice, its a Toshiba Tecra A7-S717.
Specs are
Intel Core Duo T2400 (1.8Ghz)
Intel 10/100/1000 + Intel Wireless A/B/G
DVD Super multi drive
15.4" LCD
Came with 512MB PC4200 memory, replaced with 2GB PC5300
Came with 80GB 5400RPM SATA drive, replaced with 80GB 7200RPM SATA drive
Only semi-downside is the built in Intel graphics, but oh well, I'm not planning on any heavy gaming.
Price: $1,236 before upgrades
