Laptops HP Scamming Indian Customers

[friedclyde]

I tried posting this in the laptop section but I got a database error First time.
Hewlett Placard has been selling laptops claiming that they are Intel latest notebook processor offerings the Core2Duo brand name but instead show specs of the previous generations of Intel’s Notebook Processors.

HP India has been selling the dv2119TX Entertainment Notebook claiming it has a Intel Core 2 Duo Processor that runs at 1.6 GHz has 1 MB Level 2 Cache and a bus speed of 533 MHz.

checked out intel's website , it seems that the spec mentioned by hp is correct and can be confirmed here

So what is wrong with that? The T5200 is a C2D. It lacks many things like VT-x (which has proved somewhat of a bust for reasons I won't go into now), but it is a C2D.
