Agree. Powerful Mobile Celeron = oxymoron

Actually the current Celeron M's are almost as powerful as the equivalently clocked Pentium M's (I think you're getting confused with the earlier Celeron Mobile CPUs from a year or so ago that were based on the desktop Celeron - those were slow!). Main disadvantage of the Celeron M is battery life - Intel removed most of the Pentium M's power-saving features from it. See http://www.mobilityguru.com/2004/03/09/does_everything_have_to_be_a_centrino/index.html for a comparison.

I don't know about this model, but the Celeron M IBM on offer at Staples has been giving 4 to 4 1/2 hours of usage. This is the best battery life I've experienced with any laptop.
