The Sandy Bridge-based Celeron processors were released in 2011.

These Celeron processors were a good deal higher performing than the desktop counterparts because of their larger L2 cache sizes.

The initial 45 nm dual-core Celeron processor was released in June 2009 and is also based on Penryn-3M.

The Celeron processor was first introduced by Intel in 1998 as a low-cost alternative to Pentium power.

Inside, there's a 40-gigabyte hard drive, 512 megabytes of memory and a 900-megahertz Celeron processor.

It will also come with a new 300-megahertz Celeron processor, 48 megabytes of random access memory, and a 6.4-gigabyte hard drive, all for a surprisingly low $1,300.
