yo dudes.
i wanna buy a laptop.
just wanna know the diff between centrino + P4 mobile.
i see laptops with P4 3.4 Ghz, and Centrino with 1.5 Ghz.
would a centrino 1.5 perform the same as a P4 1.5??
i know centrino uses less voltage + offers better battery life etc..
any other advantages etc? |

Centrino is actually a set of specifications. includes wireless networking.
