Laptops & Notebooks - July 2006

The dual core x2 mobile laptop (HP) was just released in my local Office Depot for 800 with dvd writer while the core duo laptop (lenova- IBM) is only 700 with dvd writer. Is the dual core x2 5000+ laptop really that much better than a core duo. Everything else on both laptops are about the same.

Ok, so I have somehow managed to change my keyboard settings. It now thinks I have an American stylie keyboard, when in fact I have a British layout. This is very, very annoying as I can no longer type a British 'pound' sign, and the @ button can be reached through 'shift' and '2'! Please, ANYONE, can you help?

P.S I have tried the control panel thingy and also the F1/F2 at the start-up, to no avail!

I know that it is like two processors so that you can run two programs on each of the processors, but, how does that translate into speed of each processor. Let me explain, I am looking at purchasing an hp laptop that has a 1.87Ghz Intel Duo processor. I am under the assumption that when playing a game, the game will only be using one processor. So then it should be using half of the 1.87Ghz, assuming that the two cores are split evenly. So now my, one of two, processors is only running @ around .9Ghz. Or do each of the cores run @ 1.87Ghz. Doom 3 requires a minimum 1.5Ghz processor. Is my $2000 laptop unable to play this game due to the split core? Thanks for the answers. btw, if you dont know what you are talking about, like me, then dont answer.
