Hi,
As I will be going to a new school at the end of the summer which might be quite along way from my house and I will need to move out then I decided I might want to buy a laptop for use at school (im horrible at keeping notes on paper, not much better digitally but atleast I cant lose them that way) and for the weekends when i'll be coming home. I looked around a bit but im quite clueless about what does what these days in the laptop world. The following things are important to me.
Price: 1000 euro's most but prefferebly more at the 700 range
Weight: The lower the better as I dont fancy carrying around a ton of weight.
Battery life: As long as possible, though everybody want that I think. The battery life i've seen with the models I looked at said 3 hours max, which I think is useless as it wont even last me all my classes at school that way.
gaming: I want it to be capable of playing games. Doesnt have to be new games, just things like hl2 and cs source, thats basically all I play on my pc anyway.
Design: Function over form, but I dont want to have one of those butt ugly machines you often see. The MSI models looked nice to me.
Size: I think I want a 15(.4) screen, 17 is to big and the others are to small to look at nice for a couple of hourse at school I think but I also want the case to be as small as possible.
Quite a list, but it would be so much easier if you could just pick the parts yourself like your desktop
