Intel Dual core is First Generation Dual Core processor while Intel Core 2 Duo is Second Generation Processor. Intel Core 2 Duo (C2D) is more efficient for multithreading applications. You can see the difference if you are using Video Editing Application, Photoshop, Gaming etc. Games like Cache Memory. I would suggest to go for C2D | |

At max tax (CA = 9.25%) this works to Rs. 127,087/-. b) In Singapore, S$ 5,499.00 (US$ 1 = S$ 1.4400). This works out to Rs. 187,150/- c) In India, Rs. 183,900 /-. But the 'Z' series TV is still a bad example, it is a very recent launch and still very expensive all over the world. A 40-42" Full HD TV costs only US$ 1200 to US$ 1800 in US. Just visit websites of stores such as Best Buy, Sears, Fry's, etc. to check the prices. In stores such as Costco, the deals are even better. Plus during season sale such as Black Friday, the discounts are as high as 40%.

| Platinum Member | OK. Agreed that goods in US are cheaper than in India. But there is a difference when it comes to importing on your own as personal effects. Some items, such as one laptop, one digital camera, etc. are OK. There is no import duty. But when it comes to big items, there is customs duty to be paid. When true customs duty is paid, the price difference evaporates. |

That was 30 years ago, now everything is "Made in China" That $199 is because you have to sign a contract for about $70 a month. -F | |
