I'm planning to get a notebook soon.
Before buying, I need some expert advices or suggestions on the budget notebook selection.
My budget is < RM2300.

I seldom play games, and the only game I play would be Football Manager.
Mostly likely I'm going use this notebook to do some programming and data processing (MATLAB Simulation).

Currently, i'm having 2 pc with P4 2.4GHz (1GB DDR) and AMD 2200(512MB).
