So, I decided to buy a laptop, but being a desktop-fan, I'm a bit out of my depth. Any suggestions would be fine

The criteria would be:

1. What is your budget?
Around 300-400 euros.


2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering?
I prefer the 15.6".


3. What screen resolution do you want?
I believe the 1366x768 would be fine


4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?
No


5. How much battery life do you need?
I'm not sure what passes for good or bad battery life, these days, so I'll just say good.


6. Do you want to play games with your laptop? If so then please list the games that you want to with the settings that you want for these games. (Low,Medium or High)?
No


7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.)
Besides the usual, watching movies, browsing, etc, i will use it for CAD modelling too. Not heavy duty rendering and stuff, just modelling. I use Rhyno usually, if that helps


8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need?
Something around 500GB. More would be better. HDD


9. If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links.
http://www.skroutz.gr/c/25/laptop.html. This is a site with most stores in Greece. It doesn't sell anything, just displays what others are.


10. How long do you want to keep your laptop?
A lot. I would say 6+ years..

11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ?
Just DVDs


12. Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons.
I don't have any preferences, as long as i can buy and repair it here.


13. What country do you live in?
Greece


14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
I'd prefer if it comes with Win 7, or 8 if necessary.
