Centrino is really a package of options. It's more of a marketing thing, than a specific chip. You'll find that a lot of laptop manufacturers use the Intel Mobile processors that the Centrino package includes, but forgoe the 802.11b(?) that Intel provides. The Intel provided wireless is the older, slow technology. I hear that Intel will be revving it to 802.11g in the next few months. If you don't need the Centrino logo, opt for a manufacturer that uses the same processors, but provides the faster wireless. adam "Justin Martin" <jmartin@xxxxxxxx To: <thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> om> cc: Sent by: Subject: [THIN] OT: Centrino Laptops thin-bounce@freel ists.org 09/12/2003 08:44 AM Please respond to thin What are your thoughts / experience on the Centrino based Laptops? Looking to get a bunch of our mobile users new machines and not too sure if I should look at Centrino / P4 / AMD processors. The users are in and out of the office about 50% of the time. Not too heavy CPU intensive while connected on site. Most of the users will also install the odd game here and there.
