Hi,
I am looking for a laptop that will be good for handling and editing HD video.
1_What is your budget?
$1100
2_What is the size of the notebook that you are considering?
15"+
3_What screen resolution do you want?
Unsure - the best I can get?
4_Do you need a portable or desktop replacement
laptop?
Portable
5_How much battery life do you need?
Not necessary to maximize this quality.
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)?
I play games, Portal, Team Fortress, CoD4 - medium setting is fine
7_What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo / Video editing, surfing the web, playing music, watching movies, Etc.)
My primary concern is processing and editing HD video with Sony Vegas. I would like to watch movies too. Blu ray is not necessary - DVD is fine
8_How much storage (H.D.D Capacity) do you need?
I will likely buy external storage, so anything 120GB + is fine.
9_If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post the links to them.
I am in Canada and am unsure of the best sites.
10_How long do you want to keep your laptop?
Four years would be great.
11_If you would like to mention some other things about purchasing your ideal laptop, post them.
None.
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 like Sony, but I'm not sure of their reputation in the laptop market.
13_What country do you live in?
Canada
I hope this can help people to better find their ideal notebook.
Thanks very much for the thoughtful template.

Additionally... you should also consider what support options are available in your area. If say you buy something abroad, will you be able to have it fixed near where you live? Does the warranty apply? How quickly do local accredited technicians fix laptops?
