I am looking at getting a laptop in a month or so. I will be using it for college and may do some programming on it, but I would like it to have some good gaming punch
1. What is your budget? ~$1200 (give or take $100)
2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering? 15.4-15.6
3. What screen resolution do you want? 1680x1050 or higher (16x10 preferred, but only as a bonus)
4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop? Desktop replacement, but decent portability
5. How much battery life do you need? ~3 hours, 2 would be alright.
6. Do you want to play games with your laptop? If so then please list the games that you want to with the settings that you want for these games. (Low,Medium or High)? Mass Effect 2, medium-high, SC2 high-ultra, and future games medium-high settings.
7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo / Video editing,watching movies, Etc.) It should have a decent proc b/c I may need it for school, but mostly surfing the web and games.
8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need? over 80 GB, I don't have much stuff
9. If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links. I have looked around a bit on xoticpc.com, and I like the sager notebooks. I also liked the MSI gx640.
10. How long do you want to keep your laptop? 4-6 years
11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ? dvd RW is all I need
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. No real preferences as to brand. I don't want an overly flashy laptop like alienware, though.
13. What country do you live in? US
My main question is if holding off for two months would bring the next round of AMD video cards, and whether I should even be thinking about that. I would just rather not buy a laptop with a graphics card that is replaced @ the same price or close by next-gen soon after. I realize that there is always that sort of situation, but I do know that the 6xxx series may come out by then.
Thank you for your time!
