I'm no Intel fan, but I think Intel has done a fabulous job marketing Centrino. The ads are all over the place, and they make it seem like you are getting something special that nobody else has. This is far from the truth, but when has that ever gotten in the way of marketing? I would be willing to bet that over time Centrino will rank right up there with Pentium, Intel Inside, and duh-duh-duh-dung. Being technically minded, it does annoy me, but we are in the minority here despite what we think. All Intel needs is a good product and great marketing. They don't need the best product to 'win'. This still leaves a very nice and profitable niche for AMD with the technical enthusiasts as long as they have a overall better product in a given segment. A good example might be this product:

I bet this will be the best gaming desktop replacement laptop, period, for months to come. I doubt we'll be seeing a P4EE or a comparable Prescott in a laptop anytime soon, leaving this to be the benchmark champ.

Did I just catch the tail end of a commercial showing someone using Centrino to send email in a mine? What a piece of crock.
