I need some suggestions regarding a new laptop. I can build a desktop any way I like, but with laptops the PC companies have me by the balls. I plan on replacing the HDD and RAM with my own regardless of what the laptop comes with so any HDD and RAM will do. Please do not suggest a Windows 10 or 8 laptop that does not have Windows 7 Drivers available.
I've looked at some Lenovo laptops as well but their touch pads lately are very strange with the buttons only above the touch pad and not below like traditional laptops. In addition, newer laptops are ditching REAL, separate left and right mouse buttons which is killing me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I live in the USA
I will pay any price, really.
The laptop must meet ALL of these requirements:
- Windows 7 (or have Windows 7 drivers available)
- FAST Intel Processor
- 15.6" or greater screen
- 1920 x 1080 or better
- IPS screen
- HDMI port
- USB 3.0
- CD/DVD drive (or Blu-Ray)
- REAL Mouse buttons BELOW the mousepad
