I'm using the older Visual Studio on Windows 2000 with a p3-600, 256M ram unit with 40GB hard disk. I use MySQL for the application. It's quite fast for this work.
If I was to replace the unit, I'd pick up an Athlon 64 laptop and go home.

It's my first time to buy a laptop and im having a difficult time choosing one that suits my need. Im a software developer and im using programs such as VS.NET 2003, SQL Server, Flash MX and Photoshop. I was just wondering if some of you can recommend a laptop model that will probably answer to my demands as a software developer. Also im also looking for a laptop ranging from $1600-1700.
