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."

    What? Are you saying General Motors can't make cars and trucks because they make engines? Did you know they make diesel locomotives, also?

    I have several (old) Intel computers in my basement. Oddly enough, they use Intel CPUs.

    Many manufacturers produce "brand labeled" products in the same plants, using the same parts that they use in their own products; for example Westinghouse producing their own washing machines, and also producing an identical unit with the Kenmore label.
