Hi,
Im new here :) I just wanted some help from somenoe who knows
what they're doing.

I bought a laptop from taiwan airport (i was just passing through but i will be going back that way so if there's a problem maybe i can fix it up...).

Anyway, the display model had a sticker that said "core 2 duo" on it, hwoever, the computer i purchased has a sticker that says "centrino". Can anyone tell me if i got ripped off? lol.

The specs on my laptop are as follow:

(Asus computer)
Model: f9f
MB version: f9f 1d1a
78n0as181787
f92pft13dd-zbqaca

I read somewhere online that asus uses technology that combines centrino and core 2 duo technology - can anyone explain how that works to a computer noob?

Also, can anyone tell from my specs above whether i have indeed purchased a core 2 duo, or if i haven't? Or alternatively, is there any way by loading my computer that i can find out?

That would be really really helpful. Thanks =)
 
Well there is a new line of Intel CPUs that carry the Centrino brand. The Core 2 Duo T series (I think it is) has been overcome by the Centrino Duo.

Look for this logo on the case, book, or the chassis of the laptop.

Other than that you can download a neat little app that tells you what CPU you have hiding under that case.

CPU-Z

Looking at the specifications of the laptop online it looks like it does have Core 2 Duo but it is branded under Centrino Duo.

I'm pretty sure you have a Core 2 Duo in your notebook. I would be shocked if you didn't. You can always double check for yourself by going into Computer, under system properties and that displays all the valuable information about your computer.
 
Hi,
THanks so much for the help. It would appear to me that it's just a plain old Core but i don't know much so could be mistaken.

The laptop sticker says "intel centrino", not "intel centrino duo".
Also, the CPU specs say "solo T1300". Does anyone here know what a T1300 was? I tried to google it but i'm not sure that i can accurately interpret my findings. I'd be most grateful for any help :)

Thanks,
Rachel
