I don't think so, I tried Toshiba and they have nothing above the Tecra M5 whiich I presently own which is a dual core machine, albeit now we'll have to call it original or classic dual core. That said it is still very, very fast. I can run some fairly hefty real time audio processing tasks and not skip a beat. I expect it may be a month or two before you see laptops with the new chip in it, and you don't expect this to be some £699 laptop, you will pay top of the line prices for it. Regards.

Does anyone know of UK manufacturers that are shipping these chips in notekbooks yet? They where released about two weeks back. I rang laptopsdirect.co.uk and as usual spoke to call centre mojo's who haven't a foggyest. "Core dual version 2"? One CS staff member asked. Another told me they had Core Dual but hadn't heard of version 2.
