You shoukld either buy an Athlon 64 Notebook or one with a Pentium M (Centrion)
Processor. You definitely should avoid any P4 or Celeron, since their
performance for chess is not good.

An AMD-Notebook you can order here:

or assemble an Centrino notebook yourself at dell.com

A Centrino 1.7 GHz is probably as fast as a AMD 64 at 2.0 GHz, and both are way
ahead of any P4 for a notebook.
