just want to know....
is any big differences in term of performance..........

easy just lokk at the cache....

that's all?

It depends

a Celeron is a Celeron , its just nice if you're getting a budget notebook , just for basic stuff. Pentium-M is the way to go if you're doing "heavy" jobs on your lappie. Thats it

Its simple , two factors :-

Price or Preformance

There are a few celeron M notebooks that i need some advice here,can't decide which to get.
1.Compaq Presario V2405
2.Acer Aspire 3623NWXCi
3.Twinhead Efio 14AL( AMD athlon)
4.Twinhead Efio 14BL

I will be only using it for internet,simple online games,typing assignment and also watch DVDs.

look the cache bro. lot's of different.

@Tainted, y dun go for compaq AMD turion based? it's best bang for bucks overall, provided u accept 2-3hours battery life..

if u r really on tight budget, celeron M is just enuf for u based on the usage u describe, just remember u hv to get at least 768mb ram for today's programs..

twinhead is definitely out, they r on VIA or SIS chipset which is slow and worst in gaming..

no idea y u shift out amd from ur choice, izzit really tht bad? one more year when win vista come out, ur laptop cant play with it liao if u r not choosing turion or core duo

Take the pentium. A celeron is miles behind at the same clock speed if u do any gaming.

sighz.. is M-Life good,cause someone recommended me M-Life.

price = performance....cheers...

m-life hyundai although is 3 years warranty but the quality is still in doubt...

i still recommend u to acer or compaq or toshiba or IBM for celeron models. as the price not much diff on this models.

cache diff is depends on ur usage, if u have 2MB cache, but mostly u just use for office work or movie or music then is a waste as 2MB cache serve the purpose for image editing, or can say more to multimedia tasking.

if u have adequate RAM that match with the speed of the celeron processor then it will nicely serve for ur office works and also when u open large word file or excel file....

hope u can choose which is the right for u.....either pentium m or celeron...

is easy to finalize, y celeron is still in market although u said pentium M is very nice....think about it...

3 years warranty is parts and labour?

bobby is right,every consumer has their own purpose of using the laptop.
ex.what for spend 10K for a laptop if u only use it for internet?

Take a look at this.
NEC Versa E6000 162DW selling for RM2999 in notebookshop.com.my
why so cheap?

u can get acer with the same price, thts y no buddy go for hyundai normally

i think i better go for IBM's celeron M as the quality is much better.
A few of my friends convinced me to get it.

full review:
http://www.mobilityguru.com/2004/03/09/doe...rino/index.html

my short summary:

Celeron M has disable 2 things from pentium M, half of cache size and speedstep unit.


Benchmark result:












my conclusion:
celeron-m has a good performance as pentium-m, just differ in a small amount. and i don't really bother about battery performance.

Okey.So Pentium - M is more for image editing and multitasking? While Celeron - M is more for office work?

May i also know how much is the IBM celeron M now?
What model? Price ? Specs ?

there is no real application is suitable for both processor. generally pentium-m can't really outperform celeron-m. that's all.
