Mobile Pentium-M vs Centrino.

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Before I go any further in my search for a new laptop (see below "is this
too much to ask for" ).
I would like to ask:
1) Is the Intel Mobile Pentium-M the same processor as in the Intel Centrino
package?
Just not with the wireless capabilities of the Centrino?
My concern, will I get the same battery power from Mobile Pentium-M as I do
with the Centrino?

2) Also I sometimes see stuff like this: Intel Pentium M Processor 755.
What's the deal with the 755? And then they say it's eqivalent to a 2 GHz
Processor.

Thanks.

IS.

Same thing. It becomes a Centrino when you install the appropriate Intel
wifi card
