I have been looking at this list from Newogg (total of about 8 laptops are listed there) and needed advice on which of them would be the best bang for the buck for what I need it for. I will be playing a lot of games when I'm not doing school work. Your advice is very welcome and needed for this list

10_How long do you want to keep your laptop?
2-3 years probably
11_What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ?
Whichever that will be most appropriate.
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.
I'm really really really interested in a laptop that has an i7 processor (hence that list)... if I have to go for an i5, please teach me why it is better than an i7 etc. I keep getting confused with the Dual core this and SLI that and how certain upgrades could (lock up?) the laptop. I just want a great laptop that I can use for a good while (2 years minimum) without trying to upgrade the graphic cards or processor etc every 6 months.
13_What country do you live in?
United States
14_Please tell us any additional information if needed.
Answers in question 12 above pretty much covers everything... looking for great advice and insight into how to get the best laptop for the price... the reviews on brands like HP ENVY (dv8t?) and Acer keep generating more questions than answers for me. Thx in advance for all your help!
