The Celeron they're using is basically a low-end Sandy Bridge processor, and Intel markets most Sandy Bridge processors under the Core brand. It's not really anemic, either. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Celeron_microprocessors#Sandy_Bridge_based_Celerons_2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Celeron_microproc...

>The Celeron they're using is basically a low-end Sandy Bridge processor, and Intel markets most Sandy Bridge processors under the Core brand Do you have any reference for that? Intel's own page shows that only i3, i5 and i7 are part of the family as does Wikipedia. http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/core/core-processor-family.html http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/core/core-... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core

    That reference(even if Wikipedia) seems to imply that the first Sandy Bridge processors released were the Core processors, not that all Sandy Bridge silicon will be or is branded Core. Are there any cases of laptops or PCs with Celeron processors being referred to as having Core processors?

      My apologies, I meant to link to the list of processors in that article -- by pure count (and, anecdotally, most often), most Sandy Bridge processors are Core processors. The text "Upgrade To An Intel® Core™ Processor" does appear on Intel's Celeron page, so there's that. http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/celeron/celeron-processor.html http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/celeron/ce... (And, for what it's worth, I'm not completely defending Google on this, just pointing out what their reasoning could be.)
