    Well the third of three M1210's came today (one for myself, my family, and one for my girlfriend) and the last two came with Centrino Duo stickers on the body. I was a bit suspicious and checked the system information and of course its the basic 1.83 T5250... to bad. I removed the stickers anyways, so it won't even LOOK state of the art. Still thought it was funny... dell musta completely run out of the C2D stickers.

    what? 5250 isnt santa-rosa, right? therefore, if you got compliant mboard and wireless (intel, not dell), centrino duo is the right sticker.

    Centrino duo is core2duo's with proper chipset
    Core2duo sticker is given to core2duo's without proper chipset (usually because they use dell wireless card instead of intel)

    What the heck? the T5250 is a Core2, and if you've got the 965PM chipset along with an intel wireless card of some sort 3945ABG etc, then you most certainly have a centrino certified computer!

    Huh? I think the original poster thinks he should've gotten a Core 2 Duo sticker instead - but if he got the whole package of Intel hardware, he's supposed to get the Centrino sticker, which he did.

    I though Centrino Duo ment Santa Rosa... which im pretty sure the M1210 cannot be. I got the intel wireless plus a 2.0 t7200 in my first M1210 and it had a Core2Duo sticker on it.

    Arent' Centrino Duo's the Santa Rosa processors?

    Previous generation Napa-era Core and Core 2 processors were branded as Centrino Duo as well.
