"Centrino" can also mean one CPU, as in my Centrino Laptop. The term  
Centrino, penned by Intel, is actually used to describe a laptop  
designed with portability in mind but still with good performance  
guaranteed. The magic is said to come about due to  a particular  
combination of CPU, mainboard chipset and wireless network.
