483382 2006-09-09 00:36:00 I would wait for notebooks with the Core 2 Duo CPU. CYaBro (73)
483383 2006-09-09 08:37:00 I would wait for notebooks with the Core 2 Duo CPU.

483384 2006-09-09 08:42:00 I would wait for notebooks with the Core 2 Duo CPU. Same here. But it would cost more. PedalSlammer (8511)

I think the notebook Core 2 Duo CPUs were only released at the end of August so it could be a few months before they are available in notebooks.
