Re: E1705 C2D question
oh boy. i just ordered my e1705 last thursday. Then, the day I get it, dell announces that the e1705 will start coming with c2d processors.
I contacted dell customer support with the same exact question, but the best they could do for me was give me a restocking fee of 10% instead of 20%.
I don't know what I'm gonna eventually wind up doing. Let me know if you made any progress towards a c2d.

Seriously, dont worry about not having C2D. Unless you really need power, then get it. Other than that, Core Duo will be sufficent enough for the next few years.

Re: E1705 C2D question
Guys, if you already ordered a Core Duo, stick with it. There's no reason to upgrade to a Core 2 Duo - you will not notice the performance difference, which only exists when the processor is running at 100% doing rendering, encoding, or floating point calculations. Thirding what has been said above.

Well, if you are within the 21-day period, you probably could negotiate a deal.
After all, you are getting another machine from them and the only difference is that it will be Core 2 Duo instead of your existing Core Duo. My understanding is that if you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, they would allow a return or an exchange. I am not aware of the restocking fee. I guess the restocking fee kicks in after the 21-day period. But I might be wrong.
Also, you were misinformed by their reps. The new Core 2 Duo was well advertised by Intel and all major notebook manufacturers were expected to upgrade their existing models with it or come up with newer models. And I do not understand why they gave you the wrong answer.
Try talking to them repeatedly.
