Hah, true. I just suggest you make sure he gets a good graphics card in his laptop
My main reason of being so active in this thread, is seeing people go "I got a Core i7! I can do annnnything!" and not realize that they also got the Intel HD graphics too! xD
Yea you can consider me an Intel fanboy too, although we did get the first AMD this family has owned not long ago, mainly cause it was cheap (280$ for the PC, Keyboard, Mouse and Speakers) and was fairly decent. Would of gone Intel if their only offering at that price wasn't the Atom in this area 🙁
(I am not an Atom fanboy thou, they suck :/)

don't knock the Core 2 Duo too badly, its still a pretty good chip that will do just about anything the average person wants.
actually, in the desktop environment, you only loose about 3-10FPS on average using the same graphics card with a Core 2 Duo compared to an i5/i7, which doesn't matter if said scores are 80-200FPS <.< unless its Crysis or Metro2033

I live in Australia, so newegg doesn't deliver here and dell doesn't sell the xps 150 here anymore. I was thinking this (if it's actually any good) http://www.p4laptops.com.au/Metabox_W150HNQ.htm or this http://www.p4laptops.com.au/Metabox_P151HM1.htm if it's worth the extra $150.
That P151 has the better 460M graphics, and has an 8cell batter over the 6 cell in the W150. I would say its worth it for the better graphics.
I had that issue of thought when I built my desktop, i was gonna go Core 2 Quad, or i7, but i7 was too expensive, and I wanted to try to keep everything in the same generation. So I got an i5, which performs just like an i7 in just about anything but photoshop and other thread crazy things. (Actually in benchmarks it seems my cheeky little i5 can even match the performance of the extreme i7's in gaming 😀)

True, True xD
I gotta say my last brought desktop I had the displeasure of using was worse xD, A Celeron D 3.2Ghz when Core2 just became available. Argh was disappointed at that!
Edit: I do wanna eventually get a PC with a 'Wolfdale' Core2, just so I can call it 'Wolfy' <.<
