Yeah, you definately want a Core 2 Duo (Centrino or not). I wouldn't pay a significant premium for the "Centrino" label. My wife's laptop is not a Centrino and we have no problems with battery life, connectivity, etc.

What I meant was there is no Centrino processor (Core 2 Duo or otherwise). Centrino is just a regular Core 2 Duo processor with a specific chipset and LAN card.

I'd say no to bluetooth since you say you don't have any bluetooth devices. I've never missed it.
