Since I am planing on buying a laptop I wanted to ask if there is a "real" difference between the 1.83, 2.0, 2.2 Ghz Core 2 Duos.

My laptop at this point is:

15.4"
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T7300 2x 2,0Ghz
2048 MB DDR2 PC667
160 Gigabyte, 5400rpm
512MB NVIDIA Geforce 8600GO
DVD Burner

1048,95€

    That's one monstrously powerful laptop. I hope you aren't planning on carrying it around with you. And good luck getting the battery to last any significant amount of time.

    Yeah, don't try buring any DVDs on battery power!

    Is there any way I can find out how long the battery would last?

    It depends on too many factors. The manufacturer or retailer should tell you a rough estimate.

    It only says:

    I'd say get the 2.0 and downsize everything else. And for a laptop, you can get away with a lesser video card for sure. You'll also definitely want to lessen your hard drive for weight.

    I've now searched for more laptops, since I'm still not sure if I should get a far more portable one. So now I have one question, wtf is Intel Centrino Duo? Is it worse than the "normal" Intel Core 2 Duo? I think so but is there a "real" difference.

    If anyone has an Idea for a portable Laptop under 1100$ please tell me!

    Centrino Duo

    The strength in it seems to be it's power saving features. At least that's what I got from it.
