Pentium-M Notebook Put To The Test

Posted by Hemos on from the testing-it-hard dept.

BedivereW writes "Tom's Hardware has an interesting review of the first Intel Pentium-M (codenamed Banias) notebook. There are a few pieces of information missing, like heat production, but on the whole it is a good review. Intel appears to be moving in the correct direction."

    This sounds a little odd. Combining cpu and lan and some other things all on the one chip. It's suspiciously like lock-in
    Dude, you think that's something? Why, in Communist China...

    ...aww, screw it. People have been buying computers with built-in Ethernet cards for years, and some of them are integrated on the motherboard. Good lord -- is that metallic noise I hear the entire world grinding to a halt?
