The bottom of the laptop heats up a bit but not that as much as my olders Intel Celeron used to. I cannot comment on centrino laptops as I have not used it. As far as power is concerned. My Laptop used to give 3 hours of power backup initially for first 2 months but now it backup ranges between 2 hours 15 minutes to 2 hrs 45 min. Yes batery life has gone down a bit but my use is also very high my laptop works continously arround 15-18 hours a day with a just 1 or 2 reboots a day(that is only when I am on the move) and battery is drained full and recharged almost 2-3 times a day. With such a heavy use I don't mind loosing a bit of battery power or a bit of heating. My Laptop AMD 64 X2 Dual Core, 1.6 GHz, 512MB(soon upgrading to 2 GB). -- ALLAH HAFIZ ------------------------------------------- Mir Nazim ------------------------------------------- mobile: +91-9906478306 ------------------------------------------- website: http://www.xensoftlabs.com blog: http://mirnazim.wordpress.com ------------------------------------------- Yahoo, Gmail/GTalk, Skype, AOL : mirnazim -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
