Centrino vs Core 2 Duo

I need your opinion.

I'm planning to buy a laptop but confused which one is better - Intel Centrino or Core 2 Duo.

Why one is better than the other?

I appreciate your response.

Thanks

It's not a case of choosing between the two, Centrino is just a marketing term for laptops with Intel's wifi and Intel's processors in. It's perfectly possible to have a Centrino laptop with a Core 2 Duo processor. (E.g Centrino Duo, etc).

If you are confusing the low powered Celeron processor with the term "Centrino" or "Core Duo", avoid Celeron it's low spec and go with a Core Duo/2 Duo processor.
