YUp ,That's how I see it. Intel is trying to "leap ahead "over the competition. Once that is established, microprocessors only will be a commodity for low end desk tops. There is a huge redefinition of modility and Vista that will hit very soon. Most likely see the true impact in Q4 06 an 07. Bob Bob

BB, OT *** laptop processor vs power consumption I'm looking at cheap laptops but would like to avoid those with the battery running empty after 1 1/2 hours. Have not found a source for this. Some manufacturers give battery time, most don't. Is the processor the single most important item determining how long the battery lasts? Is there a table somewhere comparing processor power consumption? I'll use the laptop at home only, so recharging is not a problem, but only once a day would be nice. TIA Gottfried
