A mate of mine wants to buy a new laptop and has asked me for my opinion on an Asus A6R laptop. One thing I noticed is that it has a 1.6 ghz Celeron cpu.

Just wondering what peoples opinions are on laptops with Celerons compared to P4s. Ive always found them to be a lot slower than the equivalent P4, or was that just in the old days of Celeron 300's? Should I steer him away from the Celeron.

Another model he mentioned is the Asus ASA6011U which has an AMD Sempron 3100 and seems comparable to the A6R at around the same price.
