Need a decent laptop with a small laundry list -

15" or larger screen
Backlit keyboard
Bluray Player
Good processor (Quad Core)
Decent graphics (Don't play many games, but would like to have the option)
HDMI Port
9 Cell battery would be great, but a standard 6 Cell is fine
Windows 7 (Would be amenable to Windows 8 with a touchscreen, and with a SSD for boot)

Don't want to have to buy another laptop for 3 or 4 years.

Mostly for taking to work, watching movies, basic entertainment.

I'm in the US.

The cheapest laptop I can get within this laundry list would be great. I -can- go up to around $1300. Around that price range I've been looking at the MSI gx70 or the Asus g75vw, but both are honestly a bit more power than I need.

Thank you!
