Is Celeron a bad choice for a notebook processor?
Hi,
If I want an Intel based notebook I think these are my options: 1. Celeron 2. Pentium 4 3. Mobile Pentium 4 4. Pentium M It seems like a Mobile Pentium 4 or Pentium M is substantially more expensive than a Celeron or Pentium 4. I assume this is because of the lower heat and increased battery life of the Mobile Pentium 4 and Pentium M? I'm thinking about picking up an Inspiron 1100 for the wife. She leaves it plugged in almost all the time so battery life is not really an issue. When she does take it in the car, I have an inverter that will power it. So what's the difference between a Celeron and a Pentium 4 in a laptop? The Pentium 4 seems to be roughly $100 more. It seems like there are a lot of Inspiron 1100's on Ebay. Brand new. Is there something wrong with them? She has an Inspiron 3800 which has NEVER held a charge for more than an hour (even when it was brand new). Am I stupid for given Dell another chance to give me a bad product? Thanks! John |
