I am not sure that I am qualified to talk about processors in details. But I think it is said that the Pentium M thingies are supposed to be more durable. However, the Centrinos come with some wireless connectivity (bluetooth or wi-fi?) built-in.
Please ask the hardware experts b4 I commit a gaffe

That makes 3 of us gunning for a laptop. Mamba wants one too.
Funny, but I am not as choosy concerning laptops as I am with my smartphones, so I really have no specific one in mind. However, I know I would love one with Bluetooth built-in. Besides that, give me any good laptop.

This one has a p4 with hyperthreading and will be able to run 64 bit(a bit of dubious future proofing among other things) software when it comes.
It is really a desktop replacement for me and then useful if I want to do the odd presentation.
Its just to find the money now...

Any notebook pc for me too. My bro brought the latest edition of T3, a gadget magazine last month. Meeen U guys ain't seen gadgets yet. Including palm top pc's that were just too cute. Check out the site www.t3.co.uk when next U are on the 'net. Good news: after nearly a year, Glo has updated their web site: www.gloworld.com Do we say "Up Glo!" or "Shame Glo!" ????  |

@ AYA, thanx 4 the info. @ adeprince , welcome on board - talking 'bout the machines, u got me confufed with ur lexus n skoda analogy by also saying Pentium is the topdog so which is lexus n which is skoda. I also know about the wi-fi stuff and i'm of the impression that the Centrino is better. @ coolapostle, I think we shld say shame to Glo or their "Techies"

sorry .pentium =Lexus,celeron,amd etc =skoda or better say Golf vw.
the centrino wi-fi bluetooth are extras.
if ur pc ,laptop or notebook has got usb ports,then you can use bluetooth dongles for all sort of connections .
my current pcphone has got all these capabilites so it is a step up over the se900,910 |

@adeprince: Yes; I am aware of HTC and the many hybrids it produces. Interesting marketing strategy too.
I just wish the CDMA networks in Naija would allow subscribers purchase handsets of their choice - and I'd crossover to CDMA for internet access. I am particularly interested in Starcomms. As it is for now, you are stuck with whatever they give you.
