    Celeron-M's are quite good chips (unlike the celerons of old). The only major difference is the performance is slightly under an equivilantly clocked pentium-m (only slightly) and they don't have the advanced power control. So it'll eat battery faster.

    Performance wise, considar them as good as Pentium-M's (oh so nearly).

    Suggestion: Go with the celeron m for now - save and upgrade to a pentium m chip next year - they will be cheaper and you will get some cash for your celeron chip.
