v2000 Pentium M is for the business traveler on a budget. v2000z Turion for less money is for the average user who wants to game.

Hi, I'm a nerd. This is a summary of my life: All I do is watch my computer calculate pi to the bazillionth digit.

At least their battery would last long enough to get to that last digit.

All right kids, settle down.

As I was saying the v2000 Pentium M is for the business traveler on a budget, not that it was better or worse just different. This review points out the major differences:

http://www.notebookreview.com/default.a...ew=Compaq+Presario+V2310us+Notebook+Pc

The advantage of Centrino is that it adds 2+ hours to the expected battery life. Also, the reviewer writes:

"I fired up Netstumbler on each machine, and let them each sit in the same place for 10mins.

* The V2335 (Intel) found 19 Access Points
* The V2000Z (Broadcom) found 9 Access Points
* My old N400C found 7 Access Points (802.11 B only)

I'm not sure what's more surprising, the fact that there were 20 Access Points within range of my home, or that the Intel chipset and antenna combo was so much more sensitive. "

So, as I said better for the business traveler. I bought the v2000z on the last OD sale because it was a Turion with the ability to play Star Wars Battlefront so in 4 years with a few upgrades (max out ram, new battery and the latest Win64) I could had it down to my son. It meets my small business and family vacation needs for $484.99 AR. If I frequently flew cross-country for my job, then spending an extra $200 for the Centrino would make more sense.
