1. What is your budget?
Anywhere from US$1000-1400
2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering?
15.6" I'll be using an external screen so 15.6" is nice as it can be moved around a bit.
3. What screen resolution do you want?
1920x1080
4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?
Desktop replacement
5. How much battery life do you need?
The more the better obviously but not a consideration.
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)?
All the latest for the first time in my life, so Skyrim, BF3, Max Payne 3 etc. on high.
7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.)
General computery things.
8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need?
500GB+ I've been considering an SSD for a while now, and whether it's worth the price of entry. All I've heard points to oh god yes why are you not using an SSD you silly person. So I suppose that would be nice but not a requirement certainly.
9. If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links.
I've been looking at Newegg and XoticPC. One laptop I've been looking at is http/www.xoticpc.com/sager-np9150-clevo-p150em-p-4341.html?wconfigure=yes
Sager seems to have the new GTX600 series at a great price, far more affordable than ASUS or MSI.
10. How long do you want to keep your laptop?
Should last at least 2 years, obviously won't play stuff 2 years from now on Ultra, but that's not an issue, long as they run.
11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ?
DVDROM/Writer
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.
My current laptop is a 3 year old ASUS, was decent when I got it but it's had some issues (for example overheating). I don't have any experience of Sager or MSI so I can't say. My friend has an HP that he's quite happy with but they don't really seem to make gaming laptops.
13. What country do you live in?
The USA
