    By percentage? I am sure its Pentium M/Centrino (first gen). For 'popularity' The Core Duos!

    Core Duo will be popular due to the thousands going to college. Some might go for other processors, but Core Duo will be the flavor of the next couple of months.

    Me too! If the price is not a huge difference. I also go for Core Duo might be for merom, but the price always drop and drop all the time every few months.

    Well I voted for core duo but I also have an old HP laptop with a desktop P4 2.8ghz. What a piece of crap that is. Runs hot and loud, no speedstepping, no power management.. uses 2.8 ghz constantly even if I'm just running notepad.
