Core 2 Duo in Laptops?

its mainstream, pretty much at least. And the Meroms should have more performance per watt compared to their Yonah counterparts.

Interesting... so a Core Duo 1.60ghz would outdo a Core 2 Duo 1.60 ghz? Perhaps I misread you.

Merom = core 2 duo
Yonah = Core duo

Gah... mixed them up. Sorry.

Uh, yeah lol. Here's an article about 160gb Fujitsu hard-drives in laptops. Instead of writing data horozontially, these drives write data vertically fitting more on a drive. It's pretty neat, but it's probably not going to go mainstream for a while.

Yup, gotta love PMR Technology, or Perpendicular Magnetic Recording Technology. Invented and developed by Hitachi!

not really stolen, they just pay a fee for using it

Oh... Hitachi should've kept it for themselves, as I never hear about Hitachi these days... it's all about Western Digital Raptors and Seagate 750GB Barracudas now.

It's called a licensing fee. They could've kept it for themselves, but it's nice to be friends with other companies.
