1. What is your budget?

$1,000, I can push it to maximum of 1,200 but I'd prefer not to unless it really will be worth that extra $200.

I want the size of the notebook to be either 15.6', if not something around there but no smaller than 13' and no higher than 17'.

I want it to be the highest of high definition.

4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?
I need a portable laptop.

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)?
The main-purpose of this isn't for playing games but if i were to choose I'd prefer to play POTE or LoL on it or Dragon Nest.

A lot of photo-editing + web-designing.

4 Years.

I don't think this is important for the purpose I'm getting it for, I don't mind whichever.

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.
No Toshiba, No Sony and no Dell, I've had bad experience with all of them in terms of customer support / laptop malfunctioning / battery dying too quickly / etc.

13. What country do you live in?
U.S

14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
I really want it to be mainly for creative purposes, I'd like to be able to run the full adobe suit on it no problem, here and there I'll probably play a game or two when I find time.

Also I dislike Windows 8, I don't want that to be the OS, I'd like Windows 7.

- In terms of the laptop design, I don't want it to be too heavy or heavy at all. I'd prefer something light or something around there.
- I'd prefer it not have any branding.
- I also would like the keyboard to be mechanical and I don't know the term for this but nothing should be able to get inside the buttons, for my current laptop the keys are all dirty underneath due to years of usage + exposure, I've attempted cleaning it but it's not the smoothest of operations.
- I'd also like to have a warranty that'll cover me for the very least a year.
- I want it to be silent, very silent, I want to be able to run it without having to hearing a airplane start up (haha.....)
- I like the whole sleek carbon feel concept, that'd be nice.
- No less than 8GB Ram, I honestly would prefer it to be higher than that. I want to be able to run a rainmeter set-up so more memory would contribute.
Thank you very much for taking your time to read this request for help. I am aware I am a very very picky person and this might be an annoying task but I again sincerely thank you for taking your time to read this.
