It's a new microarchitecture (v. the Core Duo processors). You can get a C2D processor in a laptop from Dell or HP.com for around $1100. The C2D will buy you an extra 9-12 mos of life out of your PC in terms of being able to have the power to run apps 3 years from now.

True the C2D is the best chip on the market. However, he is talking about getting a CD which is a pretty crappy chip for todays standards.
