This is pretty much an entertainment laptop for my girlfriend, but I want her to have a quality laptop and not something that meets minimum standards for movies and music.
The main things I'm looking for are:
Great screen. Nicely lit, bright, vivid, etc. Resolution of 1336x720 or higher. The bigger the better, but only if it meets these other requirements below
4GB of RAM and up. 6GB would be glorious, but that seems like another price tier up, so 4GB will do.
i3 or i5 processor would be great.
500GB hard drive would be awesome. She is a space hog
