dunno anything about the brands, but the dual-core processor, I believe is better.. if it's for travel I'd probably get at least a 6-cell battery, 9-cell if they have it.

[Beavis68]

the Pentium Dual Core is a Core2 Duo with 1mb of cache and a slower FSB. It would be a much better processor than the Celeron M.

[jck8]

is it worth paying $200 to upgrade from Celeron M to Dual Core?

if it is just for pokertacker, internet, and poker..

also anything about the reputation of Everex or Sager?

[Beavis68]

actually, that Celeron is a single core version of the Core 2 Duo family or Core Duo family - I cant tell which one for sure. It is not a bad processor but I havent seen a lot of benchmarks for it.
