I just ordered an R-60 Thinkpad that has a Core Duo Processer 1.83GHZ for around $680 including tax & shipping. This laptop is only going to be used as a second computer when I'm too lazy to get out of bed & go to my desktop in the den, for just the internet (wi fi broadband cable) & downloading, no gaming.
Anyway, after I purchased this, a T60 Thinkpad Core 2 Duo T5500 1.66GHz has become available for about $750 including shipping & tax. The hard drive space is roughly the same with the same XP operating system I want & the same 512 Ram (I am upgrading that to 2 GB). Anyway, does the T60 sound significantly faster for what I'm using it for that I would be better off with that & thus buy it & resell the R-60 or is it not significantly better to bother with? Thanks for any opinions
 
Yeah I know that but is it worth spending another $750 on & then hoping I'm going to get most of my money back selling the other laptop if the increase in internet speed isn't that noticeable
 
Processor speed does very little to influence your speed on the net. Thats falls under how fast your internet connection is (and yours sounds plenty fast). You would see no difference browsing the net with a R-60 compared with the T-60 however the overall speed of the computer would be faster with the t-60. :)
 
Just going by the processor, the Core Duo 1.83Ghz would be better then the Core 2 Duo 1.66Ghz.
