    Hey guys,

    I'm gearing up to purchase yet another notebook, but I was wondering about the processor options. Assuming Core 2 Duo is out, just curious what people think about the prices vs. the performance. I will probably be doing some media-heavy stuff, as well as gaming and 3d rendering.

    Thanks,

    Good question. If it's like past processors, you'll probably find the best price/performance ratio right in the middle, so the T7400 would probably be a good option. If you're doing media-heavy stuff and 3d rendering though, it's probably worth considering paying the premium for the T7600.
