I want to buy a laptop computer but i'm not sure what kind, maybe you can help.
-"Centrino" is it any good?
-What is better "Pentium 1.6 Centrino 1M" or "Pentium 4 2.4"?
thanks.

What are you going to use it for?
Centrino is slower, but its designed for laptops so it should have a much lower power consumption - i think that's the basics

Go for the fastest one.
After it's been on for a while you can use it to fry eggs also.

Centrino is not a type of CPU, it is a set of technologies in the motherboard chipset designed for laptops. It uses less electricity and is lighter - I'm not sure about how it affects performance. I think Centrino laptops tend to have wireless networking capabilities.
If you've got plenty of cash, it might be worth going Centrino with your laptop, but if you don't have a wad of cash to splash out on a laptop, go with something cheaper.
