10_How long do you want to keep your laptop?
4 years

 

11_If you would like to mention some other things about purchasing your ideal laptop, post them.
I want to get a small portable laptop mainly for business, however I still want one with a dedicated video card or a good integrated one so I can game. I am going for portable online gaming since I can tether my phone to the computer. I don't mind buying a 2 year old model lap top thats in good shape

 

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 prefer Apple(would duel boot windows and osx, Asus, Acer and Sonys with the metal casing. Next in line are Dells, I never had a problem with them and they have decent customer support, I just think they feel cheaply made now days. I don't like HP.
I don't want a lap top that feels cheaply made.

 

13_What country do you live in?
USA

This Asus would be a pretty good option: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6834220566

It's probably on the larger end of your preferences, but it's pretty much what you are looking for.
