I've got an old Dell brochure from 1998, and it's got 5 screenshots, all taken from System 7.5/OS 7.6. To get the timeframe in your head, their "Leading Dell Product" uses the "NEW Intel® 400/100MHz, 350/100MHz or 333/66MHz Pentium® II Processor (with MMX™ Technology)" and the "NEW Intel 440BX Chipset"

I had great fun putting the ® and ™ in there...

ibook is the original battery champ

long before the pc world had a wireless, small form factor, long lasting laptop, we had the ibook with airport

it's about time the pc world catches on

Actually, the way I understand it, Centrino IS a chipset. That is why it was such a big deal, and in order for a manufacturer like Dell to put the label on it, it MUST have the new chipset. That is why the battery life is so much better, and the clock speeds are different than just the regular Pentium-M chipset.

The Centrino name can only be placed on the laptop when it has the Pentium-M, the chipset, and the mobility card all together.
