Question:
Core 2 duo notebooks from HP ?
Hey there...
According to Intel, the Merom is already shipping from July. Does it mean, we can see the 64 bit wonder in HP dv series soon ??? Im gonna postponse buying the dv2000x to next month. The AMD based system dv2000z seems to be very pathetic in battery ever ..!!!!! I will ditch AMD crap then and save for a better notebook.

Hi..
Also, the core 2 duo prices are same as core duo. !!!! So, I feel we can get a 64bit HP dv2000t at the current price of ~1000$ itself in September. Intel says, it will be 25% efficient than current ones at the same power rating. The socket is same.But the killer processor will be santa rosa coming in Q 1 2007!

Hey..
According to new intel price sheet, the current price for Core duo 1.6 GHz and Core duo 2 1.6 ghz, processor is the same - 209 $. That is why, I believe, later we can get core 2 duo laptops at almost the current price... and ofcourse, the current yonah will be lot cheaper then by september....
waiting for putting my hands on 64bit Intel lappy...

Same price posting is the marketing strategy to users. Venders won't buy that. Clearly, Intel will give much cheaper price on Core Duo to venders. That is probably what happened in HP's price. Just look at it, so many free upgrade on Core Duo side vs. so little on X2. This is the hint that HP patches Intel price drop to other free upgrades. Core 2 Duo will not have these good deal. At least $100~150 higher than current one.
I wish Intel really AD the truth-- really mark Core 2 Duo the "same" price as Core Duo. This will force AMD to cut down their current price. ;)

Hi..
Im very nervous on this AMD 64 x2 thing. They are not good for laptop..it seems like... who needs just 2 hrs back up when intel gives upto 4 hrs on a 6cell battery. !! So even if AMD drops the price to a penny.. is it worth ?

In that case, you can buy a 12 cell battery (assuming you don't mind that it sticks out) to compensate for the shorter battery life.
