9 is kind of a stupid thing to do, you should always shop around

Well its not a stupid thing to do, i have seen some people saying that they only want to buy from the shop they want.
thanks for the help though

I thought I had posted this last night but, but oh well.

I think he meant shops like newegg.com since they have a rather large selection of laptops. yes? no?

So it's not so much a FAQ as "Things to Consider and Provide, Before Asking for Advice", here's the things I would tweak;

That would be my tweaks to the existing list.

Thanks mate you have been a great help like always

woot! stickified, nice going Maz!

Yep and I thought stickied and locked would make it not get all messy.

We might link to this thread at the bottom for feedback, but I'll leave that to the author and you guys to decide.

thanks logan

It's about time. Gets kinda old answering the same question over and over again. Thanks.

No problems mate and thank u
And the stickied one is in the top thread of laptop section and this one is for comment about that thread to make it better

http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/foru [...] ing-laptop

so I'm taking some time to look at this:

Ok, echoing what TheGreatGrapeApe said:

Ok, that's fair.

I think size is ambiguous. my first reaction is screen size. I think that is what most people put. But it could also mean ultra-portable, thin and light, tablet. . . if its meant for screen size, we should say screen size as in What screen size do you desire? Do you prefer wide screen or standard?

Is this more a way of saying: How important is portability: very important, imortant, not important, or irrelevant? or some better way to make it easeir for the respondant and the reviewer to better asses the respondant's threshold for portability

Probably the most important question. .. could be number 2 on the list as this also influences size / portability, battery life and screen size. Or is this more of asking: Do you need discrete graphics or not?

And then this would be asking [/i]how fast a CPU to you need and how much RAM?[/i] and then be the third question on the list.
