This laptop is for a high school student. Durability is the #1 concern.
Looking for something that is relatively durable (but not really wanting a true ruggedized unit). It needs to survive being tossed into a backpack and carried to/from school, etc.
The student's current laptop is a two year old Acer that has taken a lot of abuse. The power cord receptical is loose and the screen hinge is broken.
It would be nice to find something that had decent 3D graphics built in so they can use it for some gaming, but this isn't the most important feature.
Probably around $1000 or so. Could pay more if it made sense.
