celeron m 530's is based on the Core 2 Duo range with 1 core and half the cache disabled, they are really good for their price, don't like the 'celeron' tag cloud your judgment with them, there rather good.

If it's mainly for school/work use, the Celeron would be ideal. You'd get a good battery life from it. Not to mention you get a slightly better GPU too .
