Intel Celeron Dual-Core T3100

The Intel Celeron T3100 or Celeron Dual-Core T3100 is an entry level dual core CPU for laptops. It is based on the 45nm Penryn core but features only 1MB Level 2 cache and many functions of the core are disabled. Only the 64 Bit extensions and the Execute Disable Bit can be used. Hardware Virtualization functions, Intel Enhanced Speedstep and other power saving features are disabled leading to a higher power consumption than a similar Core 2 Duo / Pentium processor.
The performance of the T3100 is only suited for less demanding tasks like Office, Web, entry level image manipulation and SD video cutting. For demanding games, the T3100 delivers too less performance.

I got one of these in Argos a couple of weeks ago (same price) and its perfect for me, just normal use...email etc...but I have no complaints.

"Up to 180 mins battery life."

Seems a little light on battery power for me.

Reserved one online (Killarney) last night at price of €374.95 but when I went in to local branch to collect they said that it hadn't been that price since mid June. Now €399 in current brochure. They honoured my online price as I had printout of web page from today.
