core 2 duo sticker

did anyone that got a core 2 duo laptop get a core 2 duo sticker or just a regular centrino duo sticker? I got a hp laptop and i got the centrino sticker so im kinda pissed. I was wondering what dell users got

 

and this matters... why?

 

to be all powerful at the internet cafe or a lan party...these stickers are a symbol of ones social status. Didnt you know that? oh and it helps pick up chics

 

mine has centrino duo too, i think that all laptops have the centrino duo cause centrino is intel's mobile thing

 

ooops. I picked them off mine. It is an xps m1210 and it had a duo sticker. Sorry, I already pitched it!

 

hummm, i wonder why my Intel Celeron M is not picking up chicks....

lol.

 

It depends on whether or not you have the three INTEL components or not. Wireless, chipset and processor that determines whether or not you get the core centrino or core duo.

Mine has the Core 2 Duo sticker since I didn't get the Intel Pro Wireless card instead I opted for the Dell 1500 Draft N card.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

I really dont think it matters either way. Maybe to your computer savvy friends but the majority of people have no idea what they represent.

 

ya thats true lol

 

I just peeled em off my E1505

 

thats because it doest have the new and fresh "2". Sorry but thats just the way it is. Im having some custom "3" stickers made up.

 

why would you peel them off? they dont get in the way or anything

 

My Windows Vista Capable sticker just peeled off by itself!
Guess no sex this weekend...

 

I wish Dell shipped a "powered by Radeon X1400" sticker lol. People try to tell me my computer sucks because it has an Intel card. Until I show them Oblivion (and sometimes agree with them that I have an Intel).

 

And then they tell you it sucks because it has an X1400 I KEED I KEED!

Or you could always buy a laptop with the sticker, take it off, and then return the laptop.

The stickers really do help get *****es. I put one on my laptop (which is just a Core Duo) and all of a sudden they swarmed me. 'Twas a wild 12 nights.

 

I know they have C2D stickers. Saw one the other day on a notebook. But, if you want another sticker or didn't get the right one, just grab one for a couple bucks off ebay.

 

Whichever sticker mine comes with is coming off the day it arrives.

 

Why? I think properly placed stickers look snazzy. It's one of the few things that actually make Dell laptops look a little better in the aesthetics department lol.

 

"Would Look Really Nice on a Laptop, Make People Think You Have a Core 2 Duo."

Just like the ricers that put higher model badges on their base model cars. Shame...

 

You are absolutely correct!

 

Yea I once saw a neon with a GT-R sticker. Sometimes I dont know what is going through peoples head.

 

Actually, it tells thieves what kind of specs u have. So, get the crappiest stickers u can get.

 

I think they look tacky...but of course it's all personal preference. To me, it looks like a coat with the tag still on it, the one that says how great the Gore-Tex fabric is, and how warm it'll keep you, and how waterproof it is. That's good info while I'm buying the thing, but after I own it, I think it looks better without.

 

I agree 100%.

I also think it is funny when people leave the clear plastic shipping film on their laptop as well, or the department store "sales pitch" display sticks on the front of desktops. You know the ones that say what speed of CD burner and size hard drive the PC has.

It makes them go faster! Not as much as a bolt-on wing on the trunk, but every little bit helps

 

Yep I got my beautiful Core 2 Duo sticker on my new XPS M1210.

 

Dang, mines came with a "Centrino Duo" And to top it off, its CROOKED!

 

ya both my stickers, my centrino duo and my windows xp, are both sorta crooked...lol

 

hahahaha awesome

the first thing i do is a reformat. the second thing i do is take the lame stickers off.

 

my new Sony FE vaio says "Centrino Duo"

 

Looking at Intel's website, the Centrino package logo for Core 2 Duo looks the same as the Centrino package logo for Core Duo:

http://www.intel.com/products/centrino/duo/index.htm?iid=laptop_main+cduo

 

My XPS M1710 came with the regular old intel centrino duo.
I'll be getting the new core 2 duo and the graphics by nvidia sticker soon.

 

If your notebook has an Intel Wireless 3945ABG card then you will get a "Centrino Duo" sticker no matter what you have, Core 2 or Core. It's the platform and you'll have to deal with it.

If you have a Dell wireless networking card then you get the blue and silver Core 2 Duo sticker.

 

Well, x1400 sure beats the crap out of integrated graphics! Sorry, but after almost a grand on a Dell 6400 (300 bucks in instant savings...), I couldn't see moving up to the 17" notebook and spending 1400 bucks. College takes most of my money (granted the 9400 is a great notebook and a killer deal at 400 bucks off, but the nVidia 7900gs adds 300 bucks to the price...OUCH. I'm all about technology, but the price and the huge size of the thing turned me off (although the DVI out is SWEET). I'm not a hardcore gamer. As long as I can play RCT3 and Tiger Woods and the occasional FPS (I like the Star Wars series games also), I'm happy. And I do graphics work (which is why I spent 100 extra on 1680x1050 resolution ), so the x1400, after reviewing it, was the right choice for me. What is really weird is that the nVidia 7300 option costs 30 bucks more than the x1400, yet EVERYWHERE I looked on Google, the 7300 (and 7400 for that matter) weren't rated in the same class as the x1400...x1400 is a middle of the road performance solution, whereas the 7300 and 7400 were lower-middle. In fact, the x1400 was at the front of that "middle road". Of course integrated SUCKS. I just know that any dedicated video solution you can get will help free your memory and cpu. We get what we can afford, and the x1400 is a smart decision and adequate for most semi-demanding applications/games.

It's so funny to walk into BestBuy and listen to people who want to buy a laptop and the BestBuy folks, well, not so much bull**** them, but people have no clue as to how important it is to NOT have integrated graphics. DVD's are much smoother, and everything works so much better/faster visually and system-wise with a dedicated gpu. So those of you with a 7900 and up, you rock.

As far as case badges, uh, **** yeah mines gonna have one. If I'm paying for a core duo processor and better graphics, I wanna brag about it a little bit. As far as my specs, I went with just above entry level on things that I can update after the warranty is up (minus memory, which I will already be looking to better via a deal on Ebay, Tigerdirect, or Newegg...like the CPU and hard drive. In a year, core 2 duo's will have dropped in price, and the current crop is backwards compatible, so I can drop in a much better processor next year and get a 7200 rpm sata as well. My specs:

T2250 (2MB/1.73GHz/533MHz)
15.4 Inch UltraSharp TrueLife Wide-screen WSXGA+ @ 1680x1050
1GB, DDR2, 533MHz Dual Channel
256MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON X1400
80GB 5400RPM SATA (will use my desktop 160gb 7200 HD as a 2nd usb drive)
8X DVD+/-RW
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 802.11a/g (giving me "Centrino" and better wireless)
Windows Vista Home

Not too shabby for 830 something bucks . Sure beats the crap at Best Buy. My concerns now are Vista compatibility with my Macromedia MX programs and other gaming software, as well as wondering if I can "turn off" the x1400's desire to borrow 128mb of memory from the system to get it's 256. I'd rather it use it's own 128mb and keep its grubby paws off my system memory.

May be Dell bought CPU as OEMs so there's not sticker included???

Luckily my Asus is full of stickers: Geforce 7600, Home Theater Dolby, CSR bluetooth, Core 2 Duo, Designed for Xp VIsta capable.. the only thing missing is Centrino Dual.

WHat else i'm missing? may be 2mp Webcam? or Colorshine LCD ? It's time to look for some Chinese Ebayer for some stickers. I got my Designed for Vista Capable sticker when I buy an Atheros card.

 

My 6400 has the Core 2 Duo inside sticker, I ordered it in January.

 

Gotta love the schmucks who put huge rear wings on front-wheel drive cars.

 

Stickers make my notebook go faster!

 

I just peel them off and stick them next to the service tag and product key labels on the bottom of the system. If you want I will sell you mine...."intel Core 2 Duo inside".......

 

i think the stickers are more useful to keep your plastics from wearing out while typing and laying your hands on it.

 

i made my old 630m with full of stickers, i sticked stickers better than i got from dell (good qualiy - dell crap quality)

 

I have an Intel Core 2 Duo sticker on my new Inspiron 9400

 

I have a beautiful Core 2 Duo sticker along with one that tells me my notebook is capable of running Vista and an nVidia sticker because it looks better then the ATI one I have.

 

I got a Core 2 Duo sticker on mine but it is because I originally got the Dell Draft-N wireless adapter with it. I just ordered a different Windows XP sticker as the one I got on my replacement doesn't have the Vista Capable designation and I got a couple of Windows Vista stickers. I also got a nVidia sticker to put on it. I already removed and threw out the old "Designed for Windows XP" sticker and cleaned all that sticky residue off of the case. Man that was a pain in the *** to take off.

 

I have a T7400 Core 2 Duo but I got the Intel Centrino Duo Sticker. Doesn't bother me one bit. It only matters what's inside the machine. Which is a BEAST!

 

The day I start calling my Notebook Stickers "beautiful" is the day I will shoot my laptop in the bloody faceplate.

it would be interesting to see some of the reactions to a sticker larger than 1'x1' and more than 2 words on it...

*ORGASM*

haha

 

If you got the Dell WLAN card you get the "Core 2 Duo" sticker.
If you got the Intel WLAN card you get the "Centrino Duo" sticker.
Centrino Duo = Core Duo/Core 2 Duo, Intel chipset, and Intel WLAN. If any of them are not specifically that, then they aren't "Centrino"

 

i get the Nvidia card and still get the centrino duo sticker

 

nvidia is graphics, graphics chip is not part of the Centrino family

 

so what intel chipset is?
