Centrino

[bshi]

Looking to get an X31 thinkpad and to destroy my wallet. Question: What the hell is this centrino crap exactly? Does the chip have integrated wireless? The information on IBM's ecommerce site is obfuscated and confusing. So if I have a Centrino chip, does that mean that I do NOT have to get a wireless card?

Thanks guys and gals.
