Centrino has integrated wireless.. heard conflicting reports about 
compatibility with Linux.... but they are also Pentium-M based so they 
are slower, but what you lose in power you gain in battery life.  Most 
of the Centrino or just plain P-M laptops last 2 or even 3 times as long 
on battery than the power hungry P4-M based laptops though.  So it 
depends what you want in a laptop as to which you get...
