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.

thanks for the help.

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.

well as per said by the link to the review,
in terms of performance there are not much difference.

The main difference that will be obviously noticable is the battery life, with a celeron m notebook you will notice battery shrinks much faster compared to a centrino notebook, that's it.

The other one is the cache, which will only be noticable when you have a lot of memory hungry programs opening simultenously.

Other than that, celeron m is as good as pentium m. Those replies that said celeron is a much 'slower' (obviously you are implying speed) processor didn't get the facts right.

yeah, simply trapped into intel strategy. lol

So does anyone know the range and prices of IBM celeron - M notebooks?
