Heard that next year or late this year, there is going to be a laptop with a dual processor, which is as fast as desktop and consume lesser power than present laptop. I am looking forward to it man.

well, there already are dual core processing laptops with amd opteron 64. the one u are talking about is intel. don't be fooled when you go buy and the sales man says that it 2.5ghz dual core is twice as fast as 2.5ghz single core. if it were a dual processors (i.e., two processing on a board), then it might have been true such as dual porcessing amd 3800+ that ships with 7600+ on as its spec. but if it were dual core, they cannot identify exactly what the speed would be, so they have to ship it as only 3800+ dual core.so, just be careful buying your laptop. if you are not a heavy graphics and video user, a good 3.0 celeron is 50-60% cheaper and suits your needs than expensive and slower 1.4ghz dual core. well, as far as i am concered, i am fine with 1.4 ghz pentium M on my laptop. i won't buy another until a 3.0 pentium M comes out, becuase unless the speed of the physical storage device is not improved, the processing speed is not going to make much of a difference after 1.6ghz, anyways.

I think flash memories of say 20-30 GB in a laptop is a better buy with lower clocked chips than get higher clocked chips with plattered hard drive. but laptops with that large flash drives are just dreams as for now. Just be careful buying those dual core on laptops... buy if you really need em. don't for extra power to boot up quicker or load a web page faster... buy for faster editing in photoshop or premier or director etc. :-)

Sujanks, yap, I am talking about Intel and thank you so much for your detail explanation. For you info, I am using 1.73 ghz,1gigram,128mb graphic card, 15.4 wide screen....

Oh yah forget to mention, it is laptop

Personally, I would LOVE a dual laptop. Luckily the heat factor on A64's, especially the 90nm ones is not all that bad. These guys tend to run fairly cool as is.

So Ladyinred is gadget and gizmo lover, are you ?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!

I really had to google to find what you meant, but thank you so much for it...again i learned something new... :)

PLeasures all mine.
Being a gadget and gizmo lover has burnt holes in my pocket. I think I need to go for therapy or something like that.

I feel ya, and thank you for transferring it to me.....aiiiiiiii....my lord save me...

Ha ha ha ha a!! U sure have plenty of wits.

This is out of topic.....not a laptop but a desktop.....Dell just rolled out their new Pentium Extreme dual core 4.26Ghz machine with Nvidia Nforce SLI x16 chipset, Nvidia dual 1GB Geforce 7800.

Also Dell came out with a 30" Digital Flat-Panel (2560 x 1600)

Wish I had these sweet puppies at my desk.....:)

Not a huge fan of Dell, I would rather assemble my own desktop if I was buying one.

me too... assemle desktop... buy toshiba laptop...

btw, the thread is not out of topic. .there already are dual processing laptops with opetron 64's and soon Pentium M's are coming up with dual core and shipping laptops in june or july
