Question Notebook Processor

Am looking to purchase a budget notebook, and would like to have about the same speed/power as my desktop. I currently have an
AMD Athlon(tm) Processor,
Version: x86 Family 6 Model 4 Stepping 2
Speed: 951 MHz
640 RAM
Could anyone tell me what to look for?

Your desktop is pretty slow...even the cheapest notebooks will be faster/more powerful.

Another option is an entry level Dell.

I'm happy with my HP Pavilion Widescreen. It runs on centrino which gives me longer battery life. Maximum i can get from it is about 3.5 - 4 hours. depending on what program i'm using ofcourse.
