Hi Guys, Longtime reader first time Poster.
Long story Short I have found myself in need of an all around decent Laptop I will lay out what I am looking for and see if anyone has any suggestions.
Budget-
I am looking to spend somewhere in the ballpark of 800-1200 dollars, would prefer to keep it around 1000.
Size-
Looking for 15.6 to 17.6(?) whatever the full sized laptop is, this is primarily going to be used as a portable gaming rig, and a something to write my papers on at the library.
Screen Resolution-
Must Be 1920x1080, this is my real big sticking point, and I think it is also the reason I am having such a hard time finding one in my budget on my own I dont want none of this 1366x768 stuff.
It will be a portable/gaming computer
Battery Life=Negligable 3-5 hours, enough that it wont die immediately if I forget to plug it in. Most places I will be using it will have a power source though, IE library, coffee shops, friends houses.
I will be playing games, Many Many games, D3, ME3, BF3, MW3, SC2, WOW, etc. I play A lot of online RPG style games so I would like it to be fairly future proof as well (I was thinking GTX 650/670m)
I do a lot of writing as well so I would like a keyboard with good tactile feedback.
Storage- 500gb -1tb, I have a destop with 4tb that I keep all of my media on so storage isnt a big deal.
No specific Site in mind, I was hoping some people could enlighten me with their buying experiances.
2years - end of time. I like to buy products that are somewhat future proof, so I tend to buy on the high end, spend more now to spend less later is what I figure.
DVD/CD Burner no need to blu-ray
I am not brand loyal, I have owned 2 dells (one through work one bought personally) and an HP. The dell was great but I had a ton of problems with the HP, turns out I had a *** Mainboard and the solder for the connector to the LEd had given out, not to mention the thing ran hot as all hell, thing still lasted me 3 years though.
AMERKA!
I type, A lot (wrote close to 1000 pages for school last year) so i need a keyboard this isnt going to start losing keys after the first year like my HP did.
For Clarification I have owned a DV5-T(purchased 2008) and a Inspiron E1505 (purchased 2005)
If you have any questions for me let me know!
