This is mainly a gaming laptop. I will have it plugged in most of the time but I would like some portability if possible to watch movies or surf the web when traveling.
I am also leaning toward ATI video since my last HP laptop had an NVIDIA video and I believe that is the component that failed.
Would also like to have video out through HDMI and S-Video if possible.
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.
Would like to stay away from HP, my last Laptop was HP and failed soon after the warranty expired. Not to mention the monitor hinges started to crack. Not impressed with their quality.
I prefer a durable notebook.
