Is a Pentium M cpu much better than a P4? Does the battery last a lot longer, or anything?

Yep a Pentium M gives the same performance but it uses less power when the computer isn't processing much which gives a longer battery life.

I think the Intel M also power down when cpu cycles aint required hence us less power.

I've just ordered the 1150 (2.6GHz) by phone - the spec is here (better than has been quoted):

Tip: - Phone up and INSIST on the spec on this page (inc dvd/cdrw) - they will quote a different spec, e.g. 2.4 instead of 2.6GHz, but stick to your guns. I was asked to go through the "customise & buy" section, but I refused as it comes up at a higher price!

Good luck!

How much did you pay for this because combo drive ups the price by over £30.

Bargain if you got it at £379.
