It doesn't have to be that size, but that's the biggest my laptop bag fits. It can be bigger though, a new laptop bag is cheaper then laptops.

I'll have to talk to my parents about that. It's a graduation present and they're supplying 500 dollars towards a laptop. So since I wanted a more powerful one I have to pay the difference.

The HP laptop you posted WR2 is amazing, I'll have to see if I can get a coupon or something to lower the price. (Don't really care about owning a 360 to badly)

Thanks for all the feedback.
