Intel core duo vs i5

[max624]

I am in store for buying a macbook pro 13 inch. I was wondering what i should get processor wise intel core duo 2 or intel i5. I mainly use my laptop for a small bit of photo editing, microsoft office, surfing the internet, and watching you tube.

Does MBP actually come in Core 2 Duo? How old is it? And what are the prices for each?

Anything with a Core2Duo is at least 6 years old and obsolete. The i5 depending on the model will be much newer and faster.

Interesting ... I do not recommend the Core 2 Duo. I don't recommend the i5 dual core CPU either but I will recommend it over the Core 2 Duo if those were the only options. Apple really charge a large premium for their computers and you get very little for it.
