    Is a Centrino the same thing is a Intel Core 2 Duo Processor

    I bought an ASUS Laptop a few weeks ago, and it came with a Centrino Processor

    I am looking at a flyer from the place I bought it, and it is now selling it with a Intel Core 2 Duo Processor

    It is the same Model number and the same price I bought it at

    Should I exchange it?

    How can they sell the same laptop and the same model with a different processor

    Centrino isn't a processor but a branding of a combination of parts from Intel. The actual processor would be a Core 2 Duo.
