Well actual Pentium processor names are weird:

Pentium 4 - actual desktop processor (not designed for mobile)
Pentium 4 M - replaced by Mobile Pentium 4, good compromise between P4 
and mobile needs

Mobile Pentium 4 - less efficient than Pentium 4 M, but better than 
Pentium 4, if you care of battery life & heat

Pentium M - processor designed for notebooks, part of centrino platform.

I would not take (Mobile) Intel Pentium 4 Processors, the notebook muss 
be greater, heavier, lauder - I like my Asus M6Ne (Centrino)
