Centrino is not at all a processor. If a laptop has a centrino sticker, it makes it certified to be a centrino laptop. I think it to be considered a centrino is that it has to have intel pro wireless, and a pentium M proccessor. So really its a pentium M.


our first serious answer! lol.

cr2250, this thread is actually a parody (sort of) of a previous thread where the OP of that one was crying really loudly about how he hates it when people say "centrino processor"...

How can you be confused? Were you dropped on your head as a child? Ingested arsenic? Lombotomy?
