Sorry buddy, it's not as simple as that....14" widescreens have a higher resolution (1280X768/1280X800 vs. 1024X768 on 14/15" normal scree) thus they display more info on the screen....
Also, as for the difference between celeron-M and Pentium-M...
Both teh chips are based on the Dothan core architecture...The difference being 1MB of L2 Cache(Celeron-M) vs 2MB on Pentium-M and the lack of speestep on Celeron-M.
In real life, this translates to minimal performance difference but close to 20% better battery life on the Pentium-M...
However, unlike desktops where celeron earnmed a bad reputationsa as sluggish performer, the Celeron-Ms are pretty good vis-a-vis Pentium-M
Though all said & done, given the big price difference, Celeron-M based machines do make a very good VFM choice
AMD Turions in comparison lie somewhere between comparable clocked Celeron-M and Pentium-M in terms of both performance and Battery life....
Turion come in two flavors, ML and MT..MT series is motre expensive but has lower heat dissipation....
However, the Turions win over P-M/C-M because of the fact that they are relatively more future proof (Read windows Vista ready) becuase:
a) They are 64bit capable
b) They typically come with a Radeon X200 based Graphics chipset which is way superior to the Intel 915 chipset GFX on the Pentium-M based machines
