is anybody using a laptop with Intel® Pentium® M Processor ?

[Copernicus]

it seems that the higest speed with these is 2.0GHZ.

but since they are designed for efficiency, does it affect speed/performance??

anybody using any of these for trading, is so what speed?

its a choice. power or battery life. i have a pentium m 1.5. the battery lasts over 4 hours. it has plenty of power for most trading i would guess.

yeah, and pentium M is much lighter too.

A 2.0mhz pentium m is the equivalent of a 3.0ghz pentium 4. You can run it in a desktop with a fanless cpu cooler and fanless psu if you want silence. see www.silentpcreview.com

Pentium M is far faster than a equivallent clocked Pentium 4, so it is not a matter of battery life versus performance, the Pentium M is just plain better across the board.
