I would strongly suggest that you go to http://www.linux-on-laptops.com before buying a laptop.

Looking at IBM laptops I see the following..for processors..
Intel p4 .. various speeds. celerion .. various speeds. centrino .. various speeds.
The centrino seem to be the slower one than the other two.
Do not mind price .. hardware .. trying to find what would be best in long run between the 3 processors.
Kindly some pointers and suggestions to IBM laptops .. please.
I will be crossing that bridge very soon. Thanks Hi Johan,
I read an article the other day about Intel and their chip strategy. From what I can remember they were going to discontinue the Centrino and concentrate on the Pentium - M. Perhaps you should check the above first, as 5 years down the line you do not want to have to buy another laptop because your chip is not manufactured any longer. Personally I would go the route of AMD, or at worst Intel P4-M, but I am currently unsure of AMD's mobile offerings. -- The Little Helper ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org Currently using SuSE 9.0 Professional with KDE 3.1 Licenced Windows user ========================================================================
