| 251197 | 2004-07-10 03:46:00 | I have a question There are two laptops here www.sonystyle.co.nz Centrino 1.6ghz and pentium 4 2.8ghz www.sonystyle.co.nz Which one is the fastest? Im wanting to purchase a very fast with a good price laptop I went to sony style showroom at auckland and they told me that they have this policy saying we stock sony laptops for 90 days afterwards we stock another model.When i asked if i could preorder one they say that we won't have that model anymore in two weeks time we are bringing the newer models. Thats just not good enough!.They even say there aren't any stock in christchurch or welling.They have advertised it on their website and no where on the site or sony pulse book it says that they have ran out of stock.Misleading advertisment don't u reckon? |

I have seen better test before but can't find them right now. |

Battery life on the P4 is poor, and it will run quite hot. Battery life on the Centrino is very good, and it will run relatively cool. |

| 251201 | 2004-07-10 04:42:00 | wow,those are some overpriced laptops, Neither would be of anyuse as far as gaming goes,the first has the 9200 chipset and a 12 inch screen,You can get much more for less money. The second has a bog standerd video chipset that would be far worse then the 9200. Aside from that both units have there strengths and weaknesses,I would take the p4 due to it having a dvd-writer,larger screen and more perfomance,However it will have less battery life and neither will do gaming any justice. |

| 251202 | 2004-07-22 00:12:00 | Would a centrino 1.5ghz the same speed as a p4 3.06ghz laptop? The system bus ,ram etc are all the same. |

| 251204 | 2004-07-22 03:55:00 | i take that the p4 is faster? | yingxuan (3330) | ||
| 251205 | 2004-07-22 04:09:00 | Yes | godfather (25) | ||
| 251206 | 2004-07-22 04:12:00 | Quote taken from Anandtech (http://www.anandtech.com) When looking at the present, the 1.6GHz Pentium-M is comparable to a Pentium 4-M 2.2/2.4GHz, with the 1.5GHz Pentium-M falling somewhere in the 2.0 - 2.2GHz range. For business/office applications, the Pentium-M is unbeatable, clearly outperforming the fastest mobile Pentium 4 at 2.40GHz. When dealing with games and media encoding applications, the Pentium 4 will be faster, but by no means will it be able to offer the battery life of a Pentium-M based system. For the foreseeable future, the Pentium 4-M and Pentium-M will coexist, but the Pentium 4-M will be mostly restricted to the highest end desktop replacement notebooks, where battery life isn't as big of a concern. For all other segments, the Pentium-M and the Centrino platform will do their job better than the Pentium 4 ever could. The ultra low-volt Pentium-M processors will finally make high-performance Tablet PCs a reality and will be a good successor to current ULV Pentium III notebook solutions. |
