The 1522WLmi all the way...little more money, but GREAT battery time with PowerNOW techology (where the mobo cuts voltage and multiplier for battery life during non-crucial processes)
The centrino will be a nice system, but lacking any real high end cpu power. May add half hr extra to battery life over the A64...but like you said, longhorn comin out soon (hopefully) the centrino will get left in the dust.
I have a 3400 DTR (A64) laptop, its the best thing since sliced bread.
