Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 2GHz Dual-Core (BX80537T7200) Processor

Brought new life to an extremely old laptop from 2006

TLDR: New processor on an old laptop from 2006 beat other newer laptops in terms of performance. I'm looking at you, HP Stream models.

I was originally gunning for the Core 2 Duo T7600, but that cost me an arm and a leg in time and shipping. This laptop was to be sent to an extremely rural, mountainous part of the Philippines and tech support is out of the question--a trip to the nearest PC repair shop in the city would take a day's worth of hiking through mountainous terrain.

This processor was installed in a Toshiba (now Sharp Dynabook) Portege m400 convertible laptop, along with maxed out specs. Upgraded RAM to 4GB DDR2, a 128GB Sandisk SSD, and reconditioned battery cells, as well as installation of Windows 10 Home and office/productivity software.
Latest BIOS and firmware updates had to be installed to accomodate this processor type and compatibility requirements of Windows 10.

Performance-wise, I'm happy. This laptop feels and runs like new again!Read full review

T7200 breath new life

This processor have been great. It allow me to move up to the 64bit OS with a slight bump up in speed processing the newer office 2019 program. I can the difference in the boot up time and apps load up time and now on to getting a ssd for my old laptop. I will be able to use it for many years to come.Read full review

Worked great!

It worked great for my 2006 Mac mini! This upgrade allowed me to run 64 bit operating systems, and even allowed 4gb ram with a firmware upgrade. It also felt a lot faster than the original Core Duo T2400. I would highly reccomend this if you have an old Mac mini with a Core Solo or Duo and want to get 64 bit capabilities.Read full review

Excellent for speeding up an old laptop

It works great! It runs a bit hotter than the old the CPU, which is expected (nothing major). Really speeds up the machine. A++++
