A P4 laptop will drain the battery in around 2hrs with average use. By far the most efficient are the new Pentium-M's used in Centrinos. These aren't cheap but expect over 3hrs battery life. Some of these have double the L2 cache (1024kb) which perform equivalent to 1.5x a P4. So a 1.7ghz Centrino = 2.6ghz P4.

hey:
finally someone knows about what centrino is all about, my vaio tr lap top with full backlight drains th battery in like 4 hours in half backñight (still looking good enough) 7 hours that is max, what happens is that p4 is too big so ets hot often and the information takes time yo get to the end of the p4, centrino is really small which makes it faster, and doesnt get hot, also it is so small the uses about half of battery than a p4, p4 is 2 times bigger than centrino, but hey my lap tops screen is small so it uses less battery than a bulky toshiba that have big screens, another important issue always is hte backlight, vaio and some toshibas have the onyx screen, which makes the colors brighter and the screen less sensitive to scratches, so it can be viewed with no problem in a dimm backlight condition perfectly, dont be silly get a vaio, not the z though cuz it has more hd but ram only expands to 786 no like mine to 1024, and has a poor videocard,mine has 64 mb and the other one 16 and shared.

I know that this is gonna sound like a really stupid question but what does the Cache and Front Side Bus do?
And how significant are they to the performance of a laptop?

Dell Inspirons are cheap and cheerful (a decent customised one costs 900 euros,I'm getting one for my birthday, it gets delivered in 6 days

If your looking for a light laptop with atleast a 14" display i would recommend the IBM T41. Powerful, Slim, Light, Centrino Technology, and i got a P4-1.6 for approx US$2000.
