If possible, I would like to be able to play BF3 on low maybe medium settings.

Mostly internetting...must have HDMI out to plug into my tv.

Not really an issue either, I guess between 250GB - 500GB. I have externals all over the place.

I have been looking at a few ebay auctions. But refurb or used isn't really an issue.
10. How long do you want to keep your laptop?
hopefully 5 years
11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ?
Not really important....I dont plan on ever using the optical drive for anything. I have an external if I need one.
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 guess I am open to all brands. I don't specifically hate any brand. I have had things go wrong with all brands over the years.
13. What country do you live in?
USA
14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
I'll try to keep this short and sweet. Basically, I want the best of both worlds (hard, I know). This laptop will mostly be used for browsing the internet, and using the HDMI out to watch movies on my tv. However, I would like the option to at least run bf3 if I am super bored at work. I can live without it though. My desktop is a beast and runs everything on max settings very well. So if I really get into a game, I'm covered on that part. I would just like the option ya know?
What I would really like, is a laptop with a backlit keyboard and a fingerprint reader. I know these are just cosmetic things, but I would sacrifice not being able to vgame from time to time for those features.
I have been looking at Asus A53TA-XE2, Dell XPS 15z, and others that are similar on ebay. Refurb and used is okay with me, assuming the seller rating is good etc. Basically, if I can find something used for the right price...I'll do it. But I'm fine with buying something new that is lacking a dedicated graphics card.
Let me know what you guys think. Thank you all in advance.
