Great processor
Pros: Low wattage (25W), good speed, large 6MB L2 cache, VT virtualization feature.
Cons: I spent a little more than I originally planned (I was looking at getting a slightly slower proc, but later decided to go for the P9500).
Other Thoughts: I decided to upgrade my HP dv5 laptop's processor because it lacked the Intel VT feature (I had the Intel Core 2 Duo P7350 processor). I wanted VT for VMware (I do a *lot* of work in VMware) and also for Windows 7's XP Mode. This processor doubled my L2 cache from 3MB to 6MB, added the Intel VT feature, increased my laptop's speed from 2.0 GHz to 2.53 GHz, and added the Intel Trusted Execution Technology feature (I'm not yet certain how useful that last feature is). This processor runs great and Newegg shipped it very quickly (I opted for the free UPS 3-day shipping, ordered on Mon morning and had it by Wed evening). The hardest part was carefully taking my laptop apart and then reassembling it after installing the new processor, but even that didn't take too long. I've stress tested my rig and everything's running fast and cool. Great purchase!

Real happy
Pros: Nice cpu. Put it in my MSI Gt627 to replace the P8600. The P8600 used to lag and lock up on L4D but now with this new cpu it is fluid and no lockups. Also when you hit the turbo button it takes you to 3GHZ.
Cons: Nothing.

WOW
Pros: WOW! I put one of these in my xps m1330, H0ly cow. Amazingly faster. I wish I could give it 6 eggs.
Cons: I had to open the laptop, and I'm lazy.
Other Thoughts: MAKE SURE that mobile processors are perfectly correct. PERFECTLY, or it could damage/destroy your laptop.

Product fine service NOT so great
Pros: It worked great but it wasn't compatible with our system. So we sent it back in...
Cons: They charges us $55.00 to send it back I'd understand if it was severely damaged or something...but it was in perfect condition...my my I already spent enough to buy let alone this much again it hinders me from buying the actual processor I needed from their company. Feels like bad customer appreciation.

Outstanding CPU
Pros: Desktop performance from this highly energy efficient mobile CPU. I assembled one of these into an A-Open MP45-DR, XC-Mini PC. Together with 4GB of DDR2 @ 800MHz and a 320GB Seagate 7200rpm 16MB cache 2.5" drive this CPU is truly a must have. I've measured typical total system power consumption using a Kill-a-watt meter at around 25watts. This CPU in conjunction with the new chipset that supports it (Intel GM45 + ICH9M) enables flawless Blu-Ray and HD movie playback when using the e-SATA port to connect to an external LG BD/HD drive. CPU scores a 5.4 in Windows Vista. This in the Centrino-2 CPU to buy.
Cons: None.

pretty swell cpu
Pros: got one of these in my T61p. costs not that much more than a T9300, but I think it's worth the extra 50ish bucks becuase although it's only a 0.03GHz increase in speed, you up the FSB from 800MHZ to 1066MHZ, this uses 10W less than the T9300 and it's got slightly lower operating voltage.
Cons: none really
Other Thoughts: i like it.
