    Hello everybody


    From the official Intel website, under the notebook processor page, they list the Core 2 Quad processors.
    Basically they are the same CPUs of the desktop version, no difference and same socket (LGA775).....the TDP is 95W!! How long a latptop battery would last with such energy draw??

    So if I understand correctly, there is no difference in the Core 2 Quad for desktops and notebooks...is that right??

    The only Quad Core processor available for Socket P notebooks is the QX9300(45W TDP), from the Intel website....is that right too??

    Ok I think Intel has some misplaced links on their web site.

    When you click on Processors -> Notebooks -> Core 2 Quad Mobile then on the specification tab they show you the regular Core 2 Quad desktop CPU.

    Furthermore the T9900, which I just bought, is nowhere to be found on the Intel site,

    Sorry!!!


    However Visionman makes big laptops with regular Core 2 Quad desktop processors...here for example

    I wonder how long it last on batteries :D :D :D

    "In late 2005 the Dutch company Ego Lifestyle B.V. released the Tulip E-Go Diamond laptop, which was previously the world’s most expensive laptop and this mobile computer had over 80 total carats of diamonds and a retail price of €283,000."

    Some people just simply want to be able to say that they have too much money, and not enough to spend it on---

    The worst thing about that laptop is it doesn't use the "S" type Quads which have a better 65W TDP.
