Will Core Duo Notebooks Trade Battery Life For Quicker Response?

Will Core Duo Notebooks Trade Battery Life For Quicker Response?

A good question with an interesting answer. While it's fairly obvious that you can't have essentially 2 processors without using more power the real question is whether the increased performance is worth the trade off in power consumption. No doubt Centrino Core Solo chips will be used in laptops where low-power useage is more important than higher performance.
