I'm about to buy a Sony Vaio laptop, which costs £499. The specification is as follows:
- Intel Core Duo T2310 Processor
-15.4" Widescreen
- Double layer DVD/ - RW drive
- 2048MB / 2GB hard drive memory
- Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100
- Wireless LAN 802.11 a/b/g
- Vista
Is this a good offer? I'm afraid that the processor might be weak but I can't distinguish a good one from a bad one since they're all given names like T3287642JFi etc. Thank You.
No way, the T2310 has the smallest processing power within the Pentium core-duo family :( Is there really a big difference between 1.46 and 1.60?
Here is the model:

well a laptop at 15.1 inch monitor would not be a good candidate for playing smashing video RPG's so I guess you would use this for document work. The Intel made video graphics card works just fine for your apps.
If you are a gamer you would probably have a bigger screen or connect this baby laptop to another monitor, which I would guess a serious gamer does not really do.
So back to your question...
The processor is an old one, maybe you want a Core 2 Duo, not the Core Duo. In any case the Core DUO would be cheaper but would run hotter and slower than Core 2 Duo. How slow, well maybe not noticeable per your application, if you would use it for documents work anyways and emailing and some internet. The pipe bottleneck would be more on your internet connection.
For Sony they concentrate on user experience and business road warriors, their laptops are generally light and has good power. Though I prefer Toshiba... but that's just me. Or now the pearl white iBook. Apple is also using Intel processors.
