that isn't right.
Pentium M comes from Mobile, and those are a special-dessigned processors that cosume less power therefore they're used in laptops. Centrino is a Mobile processor much more optimized for laptops: they require less power and so the battery life increases.

The wifi has nothing to do with processors.

Durex: The speed of the processor isn't the only thing that counts when you use a computer and think: "oh! it's fast/slow".
Imagine a car: you can have an engine that spins at 7000 rpm. Does that mean that that car is faster than another whose engine can only spin at 5500 rpm? No. Well, with processors something similar happens (and it's quite more difficult to explain). A computer with a 3 GHz processor isn't twice faster than one with a 1.5 GHz. A lot of more factors count: RAM, HD, OS, DMA, main board, etc....
