I don't know man... I looked around and I can't find squat about it! However, but the price and online specs I found about he laptop, I'd say it's a Celeron.

 

[JamesBart]

thanks man! its weird isnt it? why do they do that? strange. is that to make it sound better than it really is?

AX2 kinds of sounds like it's Dell's name for an Athlon X2. Being a laptop it may be a turion x2 @1600MHz

 

[StrangleHold]

The AX2 1600 has a Turion 64 X2 1.6ghz,

DUH... http://outlet.dell.com/Emea_Dfo/EuD...ID=Fh4fn08J!848982073!-98869015!1168226335735 (if that'll work)

Strange thing is when I was searching for info on that laptop, I was finding much older machines... I know Dell uses some AMDs, but I thought the laptop was before they began using them.

 

[JamesBart]

this is crazy so do you guys think that it is a AMD processor? also is it anygood? i need a pc laptop just for the internet and it beats sitting at a desk which i want to avoid. thanks

Stranglehold & myself were right. It is a Turion 64 X2 TL52 1.6GHz. Then TOO linked it on the dell site (doesn't seem to work for me now but it did yesterday). Turions are decent processors and will be plently for web surfing.

 

[JamesBart]

could they do much more than web surfing? or are they pretty pants? thanks.

They are basically mobile athlon 64s. If it wasn't for the Core Duo it would be a very good mobile processor. As it is, battery life is a bit short but it's got plenty of processing power.
