Hiya,
My Dad wants a Laptop - he is faced with a few decisions though. The main one is what processer?
Either Pentium 4, Celeron or Centrino M processer.
I think i've heard bad things about either the Celeron or the Centrino - but i cant recall which one or where i heard it. Can anybody help?
They are all around the same price.

In my opinion a laptop is for working on (read: word) and a desktop is for working on (read: play). If I wanted a laptop to play games while on the train with, I'd immediately find myself asking what happened to my driving licence. With this in mind, I would thoroughly recommend a Centrino model, because the battery life is stupendous and the built-in wireless chip is a necessesity. The Centrino models are generally better than a Celeron with generic wireless adaptor, as the Centrino's card uses much less battery - and actually works.
If you get a bog standard Pentium 4 you'll have a fast old PC, but the battery life will be minimal.
Alright, cheers - I'll tell him that :)
I would go with the Pentium M, it walks a perfect line between power and battery consumption. And if the speedstep power saving feature starts to irk you, you can always disable it.
I would get the centreno if i where you
So i should probably get him the bog standard pentium 4 ?
Cheers Mr. Monster

Celerons are badness, there are no Centrino processors, Centrino is a buzzword made by Intel to describe notebooks which contain a pentium M processor and an intel pro/wireless 2200BG card.
Pentium M processors are the nuts however, especially the Dothan, mmmmm 2 MB cache.
