They go up to 1.7 or 1.8 now. This is not the same as a Pentium 4 1.8, however. When Intel designed the pentium 4 they took features out of the proccessor inorder to bump up the clock speed. This was for marketing pruposes and also because they felt it was more effecient that way. A 1ghz pentium 3 would be faster than a 1.4ghz pentium 4 in most applications. The centrino proccessor is closer to Pentium 3 architecture so a 1.7 ghz centrino will actually outperfrom a 2.66ghz pentium 4 in many applications. the biggest advantage of a centrino is probably battery life. The centrino draws much less power than the pentium 4 and has made notebooks capable of incredible run times. for example, the IBM thinkpad t40 runs for 6 Hours on the battery. The main disadvantage to the centino is the price premium and some perofrmance weakspots like video encoding (not so much a weakspot just a pentium 4 strong suit). The bottom line is if you want a powerhouse notebook get a penium 4 3.0ghz or something. If you want somethign a little more portable and compant get a centrino. FYI, A pentium 4 3.0 will typically last only an hour or two unless it has a really big ass battery.

The Centrino just kicks ass...

I have a Sony VAIO PCG-Z1M, its just perfect. Up to 6 Hours Battery Life without any problems, on-board Wireless LAN and Bluetooth, wireless/bluetooth can be turned off with a switch next to the keyboard, magicgate slot, perfect if you have a sony digicam, modem and normal lan built in, 1.7ghz, but still fast as hell, and one KICKASS 1400x1024 CRYSTAL CLEAR screen with GREAT brightness, so you could even use it outside in sunlight if you want.

Video Encoding Slow? Well, I must say I was amazed when I ripped & encoded a DVD to DivX for testing it in almost realtime. Took only around 10% longer than the movie.

This notebook is just juiiiccyyy ... perfect for ya ;)

Lighter weight, designed for enhanced mobile computing, and much longer battery life.

Yeah, I have an Acer TravelMate 800 with a 1.6... I love it.. 6+ hours of battery life with a 15" monitor. Spendy but worth it..
