Centrino?

This may be a useless question, but are the MacBook and MB pro Centrino?

Or is it just a Windows thing?

thx,

Jeff

That's just a Windows thing - to be direct. 🙂

No, it is definately not a windows thing. It's a hardware thing. Intel allows manufacturers to call their notebooks centrino if certain conditions are met (intel chipset, pentium-m or core processor and intel wlan hardware).

MB and MBP are not "Centrino" because they use a different WLAN hardware from atheiros.

Sorry... 🙂

The direct answer wasn't exactly a full answer. But the point that it's definitely not a Mac thing seemed good enough.

(I wouldn't have known the specifics enough to really give a full answer anyway)

Again, sorry.
