What is this Centrino chip all about
 

does it make a difference?

im debating between getting a Latitude D500 or Inspiron 1100

just need something that can access wireless connections for when im at school or out and about.

what are your thoughts?

basically Centrino includes a wireless internet connection so all you need is an accesspoint and you're good to go.

centrino rocks, tablet convertibles are the wave of the future this puppy is sweet
