Intel Launches Centrino Duo Notebooks

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the better-than-solo dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Intel has officially introduced their Centrino Duo platform. The new Centrino uses the Yonah processor which I guess is now called Core Duo. AnandTech has a review of notebooks based on it and the results are pretty impressive. They tested two identical notebooks, one based on Centrino Duo and one based on Centrino. The Duo notebook lasted 30 minutes longer on battery and was faster in the benchmarks. You can't beat longer battery life and better performance."

    From Centrino Duo page:

    "Ready for Windows XP Vista*
    Support for the latest software when it arrives."

    What the hell is "Windows XP Vista"? A new Linux distribution?

    It's Service Pack 3 for Windows® XP®, but instead of calling it SP3 they call it Vista® and put a price tag on it.

    HTH.
