As a rule, never go for a Celeron.
The diference is in the arhitecture of the PC itself.
For example the Pentium has a 1mb level 2 cache. The Celeron has half of that. This translates in slower speeds at processing flow.
If you want the best for your laptop go for the full featured mid-range processor either from AMD or Pentium.
Sempron from AMD comes in the same way, with less multimedia instructions and much less cache memory.
I still won't recomend Pentium 4 based laptops because of heat generated by these processor. In laptops this translates in increased speeds from the cooler and faster battery outage. Hold out until the Core 2 Duo laptops jump on the wagon, if they haven't already or move to the AMD based laptops which will give you better performance than Pentium 4.
With longer battery life too!

Pentium is plenty extra suitable. Celeron is a sluggish, old, and occasional priced processor and might't save up with the Pentium. in case you're staring at a clean laptop, you are going to be staring on the middle 2 duo

Pentium is obviously better, Celeron is the cheaper variety of Intel to rival the AMD products.

For laptops neither is worthwhile at this point. The processors to look at from Intel are Core 2 Duo. the performance increase is dramatic. I've seen the improvement 1st hand

the pentium is better unless its a very low speed, the celeron can't do as many clocks per cycle (or is it cycles per clock), so it never really hits the speed it says it does and is usually on par with a pentium 4-5 speeds slower

the celeron is a tuned down versoin of the pentium it dosnt do as many processes per second therefore the pentium is the better processor

Actually, I just read an article about this on a computer forum. Many of them prefer AMD Athlon to Pentium. I'm not recommending either....just suggesting you might want to compare first before buying.
OOPS....katman beat me to it....lol
