Centrino Technology is a combination of 3 Intel components found in the same notebook. These components are Intel Pentium M based processor, Intel 855 chipset family or the Mobile Intel 915 express chipset, and the Intel Pro/Wireless Connection.

For the laptop to say it has Centrino technology, all three components must be available in the notebook. It is a common mistake that Intel Centrino is a processor, but it is the combination of the three components listed above.
