Probably the only difference between Centrino / non Centrino branding on an LS1600 would be the wireless card (Intel or other).
Should have no signficant difference for
heat, noise or battery life.
Now if you are looking at an LE1600 C (celeron) that's a completely different discussion.

How much are you going to pay for that LS1600?
If you decide not to get it, could you send me a message (click on my profile) and share contact info for the seller?
Thanks
