The Intel SLAYQ 2.4ghz T8300 processor is, in my opinion, the most efficient processor in its class. This cpu is a much more cooler running processor than the T7700 which is also 2.4ghz and the same socket applications. Dependability with this processor is great! Even in a used condition, it is a great investment for upgrades and price wise, it is very affordable now, generally $10-15.00 on Ebay ( a long range difference from the more than $200.00 introductory price). It is also a fairly easy install in most Intell based laptops as removing the bottom cover usually reveals the heatsink and cpu. At that point, one should have a little knowledge of what to do. I personally have made 5 or more upgrades with this cpu and it has made a world of difference in processing speed and smoothness with the 3MB cache it has available. You can't go wrong by upgrading with this socket 478 cpu for an older laptop.Read full review

Came from China so expected a long shipping process, however it seem to take forever. Chip did work as promised and product was priced very well.

I bought this CPU to replace the Intel Celeron T3500 I had in my Samsung RV510. The CPU's packaging was so protective that I'm sure a drop from 100 meters wouldn't have damaged it. The CPU looked brand new and there were no bent pins. The package came with thermal paste which I discarded immediately as I had better paste. Installation was a breeze as I disassembled the laptop numerous times before. CPU ran at half speed after replacement but was fixed by changing some BIOS settings. My laptop is sped up by a decent amount compared to the previous CPU I had. The laptop can now scroll web-pages smoothly which it couldn't do before. Startup and Shutdown times are decreased by a fair bit. The CPU made no difference to the gaming performance as the laptop I have has Intel Onboard Graphics with shared memory. Overall, I would recommend this CPU for an upgrade to an old laptop.Read full review

I own a Toshiba Satellite c655-s5082 and it came with an Intel Celeron 900 2.2 GHz . It was very slow , and I heard you could upgrade the processor with an older Core 2 Duo, so I took my chances and bought one and it works very well. Considering the fact that this processor is nearly 8 years old! (released in 2008) it was able to keep up with everyday tasks and even play a few games! The only downside of this processor is the high TDP of 35 watts and the fact that even with decent thermal paste and cooling it runs quite hot.

I bought this 'Penryn core' CPU to upgrade the T7100 'Merom core' CPU in my Lenovo T61 laptop with Intel integrated graphics running Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit). Though NOT a huge change, I did notice a small change in the 'snappiness' of my laptop. Not only did this upgrade boost the WEI rating for the CPU, it also gave a modest increase in WEI 2D and 3D graphics ratings. IMHO, the Intel GMA X3100 graphics chip is nothing to write home about as far as raw performance is concerned so any help it receives is a PLUS. These Penryn core chips are supposed to run cooler than the Merom core chips and that was indeed the case with my laptop. If memory serves me correctly, I saw over a 10 degree F drop in CPU temperature after the switch (noted by Speedfan as well as TPFC V.61). I was most impressed by this temperature drop, especially considering that this CPU is clocked 33% higher than the Merom chip it replaced. I run a small PC repair business and it has been my experience that COOLER IS BETTER (within reason) as far as PCs are concerned.Read full review
