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.
anything but dell, and no alienware please. preferably ASUS, HP, Toshiba, any of the like i guess. not too picky, but i am looking at ASUS models.
13_What country do you live in?
USA
14_Please tell us any additional information if needed.
I'm on the fence looking at older 2009 models at Best Buy like the Asus gaming laptop for $1000. its a crazy deal, or looking at the Asus N61,N71 with the new Optimus. I really like the idea of switchable graphics to save battery/performance.
