Centrino vs P4M Mobile P4

TechZ · April 6th, 2004, 04:44 AM

Any thoughts on the subject, i'm getting a Centrino 1.4, compared in benchmarkjs of PCMark 2002 it gets a 4500, compared to a Mobile P4 2.8 that gets 6800, still not bad, considering LG XNOTE, has a great VGA card ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 w/64mb dedicated vram, excellent design.

I;m looking for either a 1.5 centrino or a min Mobile 2.4 P4/512ram/dedicated vga/combo cdrw-dvdrom/40gb/15"

Centrino is about wireless and long battery life.

What question are you actually trying to ask?

uhm, centrino is a p4 mobile with the laptop having a built in wireless nic. nothing more.

the p4 mobile does have better poewr saving features compared to the celeron.

The M and the P4M are different processors.

i cant decide betweeen a centrino 1.5 and a p4m 2.4, i'm looking for some newer benchmarks to compare the two.

The centrino, p4m and mobile p4 are 3 diff processors and i think the p4m is being phased out.

I am trying to decide between the HP zt3000/zx5000 and teh LG XNOTE,
the lg seems to be manufcatured by ibm or theres some collaboration going on -- www.lgibm.co.kr/, any input would be much appreciated

Min Req
Centrino 1.5/512/40/64mb dedicated video/combo
or
P4m 2.4/512/40/64mb dedicated video/combo

*NooNoo* · April 7th, 2004, 02:37 AM

Look at the processor cache Techz, and why is benchmarking so important to you?

BTW my 1.6M spanks my 2.8 (no HT) on a straight number crunching race.

TechZ · April 8th, 2004, 02:13 PM

thats exactly what i meant, a centrino can beat a p4m or mobile p4, well i went ahead and bought a hp zt3020ea - 1.5/512/40/combo/ati9200_64mb/15.4"

TechZ · April 12th, 2004, 01:15 AM

here another nb question, hp recommends u dont recharge the batteries until they have about 10% charge left, commom sense, we do that for our mobiles also, but as soon as i come home and plug in the ac power it starts to charge the battery, is there no way to connect to ac power and not charge teh battery

*NooNoo* · April 12th, 2004, 05:33 AM

Take the battery out.

TechZ · April 13th, 2004, 05:18 AM
