Reply: (edit)What is € ? is that a Euro? I think 150 Euros is approx $215 US, so it's a good deal. "whats the difference from core 2 Duo and Pentium Dual core?" Pentium Dual core is "old" technology...the Core 2 Duo is modern technology. The C2D is a much better performing CPU & is more energy efficient, so it's better on battery life.

Reply: (edit)The Pentium Dual core does use new technology and uses the Core microarchitecture and if anything uses less power then core 2 duos due to less cache (although I may be wrong on the last part) The Pentium dual core and Pentium D are DIFFERENT CPUS, Intel quietly released the Pentium dual core to give more performance then celerons but less than core 2 duos, basically there mainstreem core 2 is high end and celeron low end.
