What does this allow you to do? How is it different than just hooking up a wireless router to your computer?

"Centrino" is just Intel's marketing name for a low power consuming processor, chipset, and wireless card within the laptop. You know that you are getting the power saving components (primarily CPU) so that battery life will hopefully be better. And you know that you have wireless connectivity. For people who don't like digging through detailed specs, it gives you a packaged group with Intel's seal of approval. But you can get essentially the same thing by making sure you have a wireless card built in and investigating battery stats.
