Centrino is a processor, usually combined with a laptop chipset and wireless. So, you could get a Centrino laptop which has a Core 2 processor. You want wireless that supports 802.11n, as that's the latest iteration of WiFi that's currently available. A mid-grade Core 2 with 2 gigs of ram would be plenty for what you want to do and it would have a fairly long shelf-life before you have to go shopping for another system.
fixed it for you

besides, pentiums are no longer sold on the consumer market, a current day dual core celeron will outpace a pentium.

a Centrion IS a cpu type . It has different specs and added power saving and mobility features...
