It's NOT a Pentium M processor. It's a Pentium 4 mobile processor. I only "threadcrap" when the original poster post something that's simply untrue.

1. "$3000 4-monthes old" PCG-V505BX is a 2.5-year old model of V505 that used the Pentium 4 mobile processor. Was it open-box? Refurbished?

2. The Pentium 4 mobile processor gets no where near the battery life and runs much hotter than the Pentium M "centrino" processor. You are not going to fool these "Mac" people.

Yes, the BB warranty and Extra hi-cap battery and ipod/PSP adds value to your bundle, but don't try to sell it as a "centrino" which defined as a combination of "intel low-powered wireless/network" + Pentium M processor + Intel 915/855 chipset

Edited by Budster101: I thought about my comment and don't think it was appropriate for this thread. Good luck.
