    It depends on whether you'll actually make use of the 4 cores. Most applications won't fully use 2 cores, although more are beginning to. I'd check power consumption figures of both and see which would be better for a laptop.

    I think Intel Core 2 Duo will be the best choice at the moment, though it highly depend on what you plan to use the laptop for.
