    t2300e actually has less voltage?

    It means improved battery life - but not much with a minuscule difference like that. Voltage doesn't effect performance if it's a stable voltage (too much or too little leads to crashing). The other difference not mentioned there is that the T2300E lacks virtualization, a technology for running one OS over another or doing software emulation routines without the horrendous dropoff in performance typically associated with such things.

    I am 80% positive that the T2300E does NOT use less voltage than the T2300. I heard that they use the same amount of power.

    However, I know for sure that the T2300E is slightly inferior to the E2300. The T2300E is missing the virtualization technology (VT), which is crucial to those running vmware. However, many people do not notice a difference.

    The virtualization technology in core duo series was fundamentally flawed by design anyway. So they removed it altogether in the t2300E.

    I read somewhere that it was a typo. Only difference between the t2300e and the t2300 is the virtualization.
