The difference between battery life of pentium M and celeron M comes to 20% if both are allowed to downclock. Otherwise on constant usage the difference is lessened.

Think practical, no one is using his lappy constantly at full load (read video editing/gamin/other processor intensive task) for normal browsing/spreadsheet/word editir sort of apps, the proccy will be running at down clocked speeds

Pentium M is a marketing gimmick that earned Intel huge green bucks. But Celeron M is actually a better buy at the price.

That's a subjective decision. though i do agree that the value vs price ratio between P-m/C-m is far better than their desktop counterparts
As for the Turion, its a decent performer alright, but for the same clockspeed, the P-m will give you better results in almost all benchmarks....e.g. a P-M 725 at 1.6 Gig will give you ~ 1:50 secs on superPi vs a Turion MT-30 at 1.6 Gig giving you ~2:20
However, a regular user would spot minimal difference in performance in regular usage...
As I said, the adv of the Turion lies in the 64 bit capabiltieis and teh fact that most mainstream Turion laptops have a the X200 gfx subsystem vs the cra&^y i915 on most mainstream Centrin/Celeron-M laptops
