Depends on the product used.  I don't know what
series/revision is used in those notebooks, but since it's a
S754, it is probably a 31W variant.  That's much lower than
the original mobile Athlon XPs.

Intel's Pentium M are 21W, while their Pentium 4 Mobiles are
in excess of 60+W.  Celeron Ms are not exactly as good as
their Pentium M brothers, on-purpose by Intel.

I can't tell from the product specs.  I'll have to do some
more research.  But they seemed to be a heck of a lot better
than the Celeron Ms for the price -- feature-wise.
