When looking at new laptops my processor choice has been Intel Core 2 Duo for a while now and also the best battery life you can get.
Today we hear things are about to get much cheaper for buyers of Core 2 Duo products, Intel announced big price cuts last week and this worked out at a 31% price drop on the top-end E8500.
With money getting tight for a lot of people around the world, its good news to hear that Core 2 Duo processors have got cheaper and lets hope we see this discount passed onto the laptops that house them.
The Core 2 Duo E7200’s will now cost $113; the E8400 is priced at $183 and the E8500 at $183. Another reason we are seeing these price cuts would be to make room for the new Core 2 Quad series.
Do you prefer to get value for money when buying new laptops and processors or do you like getting the best technology, i.e. Core 2 Quad series?
