Im looking for a 15.6 inch so it can be somewhat portable.

1080
4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?
I want good performance in demanding games so I can use this when im not in my dorm room with my desktop.

about 5 hours would be ok. I'll be able to plug it in during lectures.
6. Do you want to play games with your laptop? If so then please list the games that you want to with the settings that you want for these games. (Low,Medium or High)?
battlefield 3 (High)
LoL (Max)
maybe WoW if i get back into it (max)
day z (medium/high)
7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.)
I'm majoring in computer science so i need to be able to code on it.
