No, Centrino is based on using a Pentium M chip, you can't use a P4 chip for it. It involves, the chip, an Intel motherboard, and an intel wireless card.
Also, as always, check out Dell if necessary. They'll let you customize to what you need. I'd still say look at Apple seriously though. It's got great equipment, and frankly, OSX will do you wonders. You can use a two button mouse, and frankly, the Macbook Pro's are just way better for moving around as a student.
I'm HS student at boarding school now, and definately wish my computer was substantially lighter so I could move it around. The Macbook would give you what you need. If not though, again, Dell is your best bet. Either that, or look at Acer as well, they tend to be very good.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
