Looks like more than a rumor - Widow PC's New Dual Core Laptop

[waters1701]

I just found this on engadget.com while browsing the web (as I usually do). Here the link: http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000150070599/

They say it's the first dual core laptop, it's the first one I've come across. What do you think about this machine?

its nice, but i am a battery life, so a dually laptop would defeat the purpose of a mobile pc:) but thats just my opinion

Last I heard they didn't have the actual processors for these yet though. I guess there are two different vendors (one in the U.S. the other in the U.K.) that have them available for pre-order and are claiming "before Christmas" for availability.

Looks like Rock beat them to it: http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2005/12/16/rock_ships_first_dual-core_laptop/

Of course, it is The Register but this seems reasonably safe.
