Just looking to get a laptop for use when out of the office.
Confused by the array of Pentium chips available - Pentium, M, Celeron, & Centrino.
Portable, Good number crunching (Large Access Databases), Large Hard Disk plus all the usual goodies.
Which chip suits my needs best?

Pentium M with Centrino chipset all the way IMO.
A 1.6Ghz Centrino laptop outperfoms a 2.8Ghz P4 laptop.
For instance:

"The TravelMate 800's chip may only be clocked at 1.6GHz, but the overall 2D benchmark score of 1.46 is faster than any other notebook we've reviewed. It won't disappoint 3D gamers either. With its 64MB ATi Radeon Mobility 9000 inside, 3DMark2001 SE returned a score of 6,963 in 32-bit XGA. Not even the Dell Inspiron 5100 (see p61) with its 2.8GHz desktop Pentium 4 CPU can compete."
