Centrino Laptops Reviewed

Posted by Hemos on from the wireless-machine-run dept.

Jeff Mancuso writes "CNET seems to be the first out with full reviews of the new Centrino Pentium M laptops. The performance looks solid, the features are great, designs are thin and battery life runs up to 4-7 hours on these machines." Yeah, I had hoped that we would make it on the review list, but alas, no such luck. Nice looking machines, though.

  1. Powerbook G4, irony by d3xt3r · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    Anywone else catch the irony here? Intel has been leading the MHZ myth wars against Apple for a long time, however, Apple's been killing them in the power department.

    So now Intel realized that if they can kill the processor speed and make a low power chip. Funny thing is my friends 900 MHZ P3 laptop with "Speed-Step" technology is slower than my 800 MHZ Powerbook by a long shot. I guess Intel finally found a way to make their battery life last longer than 1 1/2 hours by further crippling their inferior chip.

    If you want a laptop that's fast, has a long battery life, and works well, you really want an Apple Powerbook G4.

    • 5 hour advertised batter life
    • Powerful processor (speed not compromised to save the battery)
    • Cool, quiet running computer: won't burn your legs or run its fan forever
    • Oh yeah, and a REAL OPERATING SYSTEM

    Forget Wintel's latest "toys". If you want a real computer, get one here.
