    and there was a Core 2 Duo m17x in the laptop section. It is too much to ask that they have a price or specs sheet around, but the demo stated Core 2 Duo.

    So I'd warn any friends about which version they are going to be selling at BB. I honestly can't believe they are selling that version. They must have a buttload of overstock...

    I thought all of the M17x's that BB got were all quad cores? That's the only one they've shown on their website in like the last year.

    I have a r1 with a core 2 duo and it works fine?so if the price is right and people want a tried and true cpu instead of a new tech that hasn't been field tested like the New i series go for it.Is that the only pc with a core 2 duo in it a best buy?I don't think so.
