    Bought it a best buy (I had a gift certificate!)
    Says online and in the store that it has a core 2 duo processor but inside it def says a Intel Centrino 2 on the sticker.

    It is the G60Vx series.

    When I check in My Computer it says Core 2 Duo. Is this just an error in packaging? I surely hope so.

    Centrino = chipset + CPU + wireless
