    If you have to use a laptop for your CAD program, which processor should you
    choose?

    Thanks \

    E-Machines just released a laptop with an Athlon64 processor. I'd check out
    that one.

    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.

    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.
