wbmw, agree. Real desktop replacement laptop is heavy and power hungry. No matter how efficient cpu is, the graphic chipset will burn the rest. So Centrino is losing all its advantages there. Imagine 8 lbs. thick Centrino laptop with 2 hours battery life. Does it make sense? No.

Yes if you want thin and light, you are correct. Centrino all the way. If you want a desktop replacement, the A64 may be better overall. I think hard core gamers would go for this one.

Laptop graphics systems have come a long way. The ATI mobile Radeon 9600 is no slouch. I would like to see some benchmark comparisons between these VoodooPC laptops. If AMD goes up another few dollars I might get myself one of each and do the comparison myself. :)
