I'm in the process of looking for a new laptop and I'm wondering what difference it would make to me. i use my laptop mostly for multimedia purposes but occasionally get some work done too.

The processor is like the brain of the computer. It is the controlling unit, it executes all the instruction you give to it, it recieves and sends messages within the computer and other peripherals. It decides what ought to be done and what not. This makes it the control base of every computer.
Previous technology in the production of Processors has been a single processor on a chip as produced largely by intel, AMD and others. This indicates that one single processor does all the job allocated to it and a processor executed its job one at a time. Though the time frame may not be noticed by you if you have a high speed processor. Most comes in Nano seconds.
The Dual processor as the name suggests, is two processors embedded on a chip. The idea is designed to make work done faster as work is shared simultaneosly between the two processors. This is hoped to reduce system delay time, make your system run faster and less prone to disruption often caused by heat and overwork by the previous single chip technology. As it is said that two hands are better than one.
The Dual technology is a welcome development. Give it a go.

no longer something. The technologies i think of is the utility and/or purposes that bypass with the actual processor. once you're seeing 2 laptops with one or the different, risk are there is not any actual distinction. i individually think of that the technologies is what went into development the processor.

It means your computer has 2 processors basically I think, meaning it is faster and you can do more with it. To be honest just for general use I'm not sure how great it would be, I'm not sure you'd notice a vast difference. We don't even have dual at work and we're running complex programmes all day.

without getting technical it allows more information to be processed at the same time. One core can be handling your gaming say and one could be down loading the music you have just bought online or your word document at the same time.
It makes it more manageable and faster, stops your computer crashing because you have asked it to do too much at once

Ask the pimply youth in the computer store. They are all experts on this type of technology.
