You could find a LOT LOT cheaper laptop for watching blu ray and surfing the web. If you buy alienware...... :lol:
 
Yea took a look at, would like a lighter laptop, my current Hp is like 15lbs and just a pain to carry around. I would think if i continue on the path of programming that I will be doing heavy programming and running it. So just want to make sure my laptop can handle that.
 
I know I def want SSD, I guess I could just get 4gb of memory that should be plenty for my needs =D, that CPU i am confused on which one is the best. I want a laptop that is not slow or will slow down during multitasking.
