The two problems with using desktop technology in a laptop is heat and power. With the promise of improved battery life and more compact designs, Intel’s Centrino should be helpful and capable for musicians needing mobility and powerful performance. In the past, Apple’s Powerbooks have done much better than their Intel and AMD counterparts when it comes to music and audio software because G3 and G4 processors ran cooler than Pentium III or IV chips and required less power. Plus, the Powerbooks have had a longer battery life than Intel’s battery.
