Hardly the first time some fly-by-night computer store would have
offered a product by a name that doesn't exist. Hell, it's not even
the 'fly-by-night' stores that do this sort of thing, even some bigger
names will try to confuse/scam customers in this sort of way.
Everybody accepts that a desktop with a Celeron in it instead of
a P4 is just a cheaper and lower-performing system, yet the moron
who wrote that article expects everyone to get all riled up
because a laptop has a cheaper and lower-performing Celeron M
instead of a Pentium M in it.
The Celeron M is a perfectly fine chip in terms of performance, the
real problem is it's power consumption. For production
differentiating reasons, Intel disabled almost all of the power saving
features in their Pentium M chips to make the Celeron M. As such, the
Celeron M consumes quite a bit more power than a P-M... or an AMD
Turion or Thin and Light Sempron chip.
