Centrino vs Pentium4 Which Faster?

by pfeffer3 Oct 5, 2005 8:44AM PDT

Today, a salesman said that a Centrino 1.7Ghz was equivalent to the speed of a 3.2 Pentium 4. Is that statement true?

Almost. Especially if the P4 is not a HT.

But let's look realistically at this. Do you need an unit that has no battery life and burns your lap?

Please Compare These Models For Speed
by pfeffer3 Oct 5, 2005 10:36PM PDT

I have a Sony PCG-GRT360ZG Notebook with a Mobile Intel Pentium 4 Processor 3.06 GHz supporting Hyper-Threading Technology 16? Screen. Is is used for my home computer rather than a desktop, but it is too large to carry with me.

Which of the two following laptops has the most speed, and what are their speeds in comparison to the one that I use at home. Speed is the main factor along with size/weight.


Dell Inspiron 700m Pentium M 2GHz
12? Screen

Sony VAIO

Fujitsu or ASUS Model Numbers?
by pfeffer3 Oct 6, 2005 9:47AM PDT

I am presently using a Fujitsu P1120 with 800Mhz speed, and it is way too slow: 8" screen.

Please provide model numbers and speed ratings of the laptops that you have suggested.
