simple - one is for desktop computers, the other is for notebook computers.
real notebooks uses mobile cpu, cheap generic notebooks use desktop version to cut cost.

Also, make sure that you buy one with 256K L2 cache to get better performance. If I am not mistaken, 1.20 GHz, 1.13 GHz and 1.06 GHz Celerons all have 256K L2 cache.

More info can be found on Intel.

You definitely want the mobile Celeron Tualatin. It has a 133MHz FSB, a 256KB cache, and is made using the 0.13 micron process. This means it's very fast and doesn't use a heap of power. You can tell the Tualatins because their speed is a half or full multiple of 133.
