Is the Centrino the smart choice for all of us who are buying a laptop
these
days?
Does it make a laptop purchased today with an older processor obsolete
before its time?

Or is it just appropriate for the Mobile segment of the market, not the
Desktop Replacement segment?

What is a smart purchase today?

I would have to say for longevity and battery life... go with the Pentium-M
(or Centrino if it includes Intel's WiFi chipset). Personally, I wouldn't
tie myself to the internal WiFi as I like to keep my options open, and
Centrino WiFi does not have 802.11g yet.
