Laptop is for my wife...her current laptop is a 2006 sony vaio, running 32 bit vista...
Prefer Windows 7 but open to Windows 8...Open to a touchscreen...
She's going back to school so she needs it for that kind of thing, but she also likes to play whatever MMO I happen to be playing with me, usually WoW or Rift. I might play some games on it but I already have a decently powered desktop so if I wanna play any serious games I have that.
I also might be running some low-end CAD programs(sketch-up or something similar) so I was hoping for 8 gigs of memory at least if just for multitasking.
Lastly, all the laptops I've been scouting so far don't seem to have much in the way of upgradeability. I was hoping to get something with another HDD slot open or a memory slot open in case I wanna add something into it later.
