advantages & disadvantages of a celeron laptop?

Question

i just got a Toshiba celeron laptop and i want to know the different between a celeron and a pentium laptops.

Answer 1

"Celeron" is a model of processor widely available. This technology is the least expensive, though the main disadvantage is that it can not handle multi-tasking very well. In other words, if you're used to having multiple programs or windows open at the same time, Celeron processors are not really designed for such activity. Otherwise, it may be a cheaper alternative if price is the most important factor (Celeron processors, found in both notebook and desktop computers, can decrease the price of a computer by hundreds of dollars).

the Pentium is designed specifically towards low power consumption, i.e. better possibilities when travelling.

Answer 2

I have a Celeron in my HP laptop. It runs hot and drains the battery quickly; I only get about an hour of battery time on it. My stepmom got a Centrino and gets about 3-4 hours out of it.

Answer 3

The Celeron runs cooler but it's performance is nor as good as the Pentium because it's slower and has less cache.

Answer 4

Laptop Processors:
Celeron is somewhat an old type of Inter processors, they are kinda cheap but not as powerful as the one's below:

Better Processors:

Centrino is the current choice of laptop processors of intel. They are lightweight but powerful, the new Centrino's come in Dual Core (Centrino Core 2 Duo) which means they can process data 2X faster with 2 cores.

Pentium is for desktops mostly, they generate more heat and use more energy (bad for laptops). But they are very powerful also.
