The Core Duo is not faster, it's simply more efficient for multiple tasks. It's "smoother" not "faster".

In an MP aware app, the Core Duo will slaughter the poor Centrino, clock-for-clock.

That's the current deal-killer for me. The GMA950 isn't really an issue since I game on my PC about as often as I surf the internet on my Xbox.

Supposedly a new model with the 1680x1050 panel is in the pipe.
