Core 2 Duo Notebooks Reviewed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the and-it-fits-in-the-something-of-your-something dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With the launch of Intel's Core 2 Duo chip today, I found this article that not only covers the new chip itself, but also reviews and benchmarks two retail notebooks. It's interesting since one machine has the entry level 1.66GHz CPU while the other has the top end 2.33GHz chip."

    Are they for POWER-HUNGRY users? Or TECH-SAVVY businesspeople? Or are they BUSINESS-FRIENDLY machines? Is there one modern journalist or advertising copy writer that can construct a sentence without hype-hyphenated babble?

    For that matter is there one computer company that can discuss computers and money without a picture of a salt-and-pepper-haired overpaid buzzword-shitting suburban asscrack holding or in the immediate vicinity of an oversized coffee cup? Because the boxes for these financial programs don't seem to mention A COFFEE CUP IS REQUIRED TO ADD UP SUBURBAN CASH ON YOUR COMPUTER.

    Oh, and about the Core Duo 2 zippy super gizmo? Get a Mac.

    Business isn't willing to pay for products, innovation and careers, so we get brands, mortgage commercials and layoffs.
