Pros: Excellent processor. Replaced a 1.66 Core Duo with this 2.0 Core Duo in a Mac Mini. Average temps run 85c at full load. Handles H.264 encoding with aplomb! I'm an AMD fan, but Intel can definitely take pride in these processors.

Cons: None currently....Will get back to you if I find any.

Pros: Great processor, much cheaper than buying a prebuilt laptop with a T2500, search for it and most of the laptops range in the $1600s. Runs fast and cold.

Cons: Nothing comes to mind. A bit expensive, but its 2.0 dual core.

Pros: Installed this in my Intel Mini (upgraded from a 1.5ghz Core Solo). Temps are between 55C and 65C normally; it hits 83C on full load, well within proper operating range. Easy installation. Great power boost for cheap!

Cons: None so far; price has dropped to a reasonable level. Has not had any negative effects on my Mac Mini.

Other Thoughts: Make sure to get some thermal cooling paste such as Arctic Silver 5 to apply after installing this chip.
