E-Machines just released a laptop with an Athlon64 processor. I'd check out that one. Best Regards, Devon T. Sowell
Devon's suggestion is a good one.
Pertaining to your original question; "Centrino", by definition, is a package of components including the Pentium M processor, the Intel 855 chipset and wireless 802.11b network capability. There is no "Centrino" processor per se.
The Pentium M 1.7 processor is roughly equal to a P4 2.4 for "business" applications. I haven't seen any benchmarks yet for CAD work.
Thanks, I will check it out :)

Thank you Bruce,
That was information I did not find on the Intel site. It appears a little silly to market both the M and the Centrino with little or no price difference. Oh well..
Thanks or your input Devon and Bruce

One Laptop mag puts the Centrino 1.7 at 10% more efficient than the 2.6 Pent
4M and battery life 25-30% more.PolyTech Forum website is not affiliated with any of the manufacturers or service providers discussed here. All logos and trade names are the property of their respective owners.
