The real question is what you do with it. If you know what you want to do with your new laptop that helps you to decide which one is right for you.

The 1GHz Mac Powerbooks are attractive to me, because they have some features of Unix. If you have a need to Windows applications then as a rule of thumb I would avoid Centrino and Celeron in favor of plain old Pentium. The reason is while Pentium won't have quite as much battery power, overall the machine will have a much longer useful life due to having the same processor as desktop machines. Battery life is increased by a decrease in CPU power in essence, and which is more important to you should determine what you want to get.
