Intel centrino 2. Has anyone got it?

[Clowgon]

I going to PC World and Currys on Bank holiday monday and i hope to get a new laptop with intel centrino 2. So i am wondering has anyone got it and is it any better then the older version? I kinda having second thoughts because the new quad-core processors are coming out later this year and reports say it will be better than Intel's new one.

Quad cores have been out for about a year now? :S

Centrinos aren't that great tbh.


Also, shouldn't the shops be shut on bank holiday?

centrino's arn't that great as Tom said.. Why not get a current quad core?..

The claims look nice but I somehow doubt there all true..

Intel’s NEWEST and BEST performing notebook technology includes:
• Up to 50% faster performance when multitasking‡1
• Up to 2X greater range and up to 5X better wireless performanceΔ2
• Designed for the longest possible battery life
• Up to 90% faster performance on intensive multimedia applications like HD video encoding‡2


~ Edit: Centrino 2 is just the name of the new laptop platforms.. you can get them in quad core..

I haven't seen a Quad core laptop in the market..

I have an Acer with a Centrino Duo, it's fine.

I seen a few laptops with quads, seeing i seen them about 6 months ago, they should be getting quite popular.
