You should be able to understand it, even though parts of it are in Icelandic.
What about Centrino processors? I've heard they use much less power than other processors and that a 1.4 Centrino was about equal to a regular 2.2 Intel. True?

Centrino is actually a combination of a Pentium-M processor and some connectivity stuff (wi-fi integrated lan etc). Pentium M's are higher performing per clock cycle and use less power. I don't have any exact comparison values but 150% sounds about right.

I've been playing Neverwinter Nights a lot on my desktop PC at full detail and 1024x768 with a respectable framerate at these specs:

Pentium 4 2 GHz
MSI GeForce 4 Ti 4600 (128MB)
768MB DDR RAM

Should I get decent results with the laptop?
