Ok, budget is done = RM2k...now all we need is your requirements ...what usually you use the laptop for...without this we can recommend you endless of laptops ...

Some that you might take a look :

Compaq CQ41-208AU, AMD M520 + ATi HD4200, freeDOS@RM1599
Compaq CQ41-217AU, AMD M320 + ATi HD4200@RM1599
Compaq CQ42-258TU, i3 350M + GMA HD, freeDOS@RM1949
Acer 4551, Athlon II P320 + ATi HD4250, FreeDOS@RM1499
Acer 4741Z, DC P6000 + GMA HD, freeDOS@RM1599
Acer 4741Z, DC P6000 + GMA HD@RM1899
Toshiba C640D-1004U, AMD P320 + ATi HD4250, freeDOS@RM 1449

Its always better for a notebook rather than Netbook, unless you want to take it around always...Netbook is rather the same in terms of performance ..different would be the warranty and the type of service that it offers

@PNWW
How much can you adjust your budget?? Well, if can max out till RM2999 then might go for Asus A42Jv (i5 450M + GT335M/GMA), with GMA can max out battery life for maybe 5 hours and so

Asus A42Jv (i5 450M + GT335M) @RM2999
Dell SXPS16 (P8700 + HD4670) @RM2999
Dell Vostro 3700 (i5 430M + GT330M) @RM2849

As i recalled, there's no Asus A52Jv ...Asus A52Jc comes with nVidia 310M ...are you referring to Asus A42Jv?? That one comes with GT335M, and GT335M is far more powerful than 310M

@demon91
If want bigger screen and a powerful card, there's :

Dell SXPS16, P8700 + ATi HD4670 @RM2999 ~~this is 15.6"

Dell Vostro 3700, i5 430M + GT330M @RM2849 ~~this is 17.3"

There are a lot of laptops that can do want you listed ..care to tell us your budget?? And what do you use in most priority with the laptop??

Any size preference?? 14" or maybe 15" can do also ...

Take a look :

Asus A42F, P6000 + GMA HD@RM2099
Acer 4741, i3 330M + GMA HD, freeDOS@1899
Acer 4741Z, DC P6000 + GMA HD@RM1899
Lenovo G450, T6570 + Nvidia G310M, Freedos@RM1899
Dell Inspiron 14R, i3 350M + GMA HD Home Basic@RM2099
MSI CR420X, i3 330M, FreeDos@RM1999

@lee
Why no Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820TG included?? That one the price already dropped to RM2699 , much lighter and got switchable GC too ...

@BeeOhh
My recommendations is same with lee, with added one more laptop :

Acer Aspire TimelineX 4820TG , i5 430M + HD5470 @RM2699/RM2799

Well, the one above is light and easier to carry around ...

For the games that you mentioned, it guess below medium is where you level it ..good enough is the right word, as Football Manager is not that graphic intensive games and HitMan also ...

If want something that in the level of mid-range, there HD5650,GT330M,GT335M & HD4670/HD4650 (but this is DX10 cards)
