1. What is your budget?
Preferably less then $1k
2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering?
15.5 seems like it makes sense, small enough to keep the laptop itself small, big enough for video if needed.
3. What screen resolution do you want?
Ideally 1080p, but slightly less will probaby do.
4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?
Definitely portable I want to be able to take this around with my with little effort and also without always needing to be near an outlet.
5. How much battery life do you need?
As stated before as much as I can possibly get preferably at least 5 hours.
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 do play games, but I do not want to make it a priority, that being said I do plan on doing game design so it might not have to play Crysis on ultra, but it should be able to handle some graphical programs and games
7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.)
I do own the Adobe Creative Suite so ideally I would like it to work with those programs and function correctly.
8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need?
As much as I can get, minimum 500GB, ideally 1TB
9. If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links.
Newegg and Amazon are always prefered, but I'm open to any place if the price is right
10. How long do you want to keep your laptop?
As long as possible, I want this to last past my two years in school
11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ?
It would be nice to have a Bluray drive, but it is not a priority a DVD r/w would suffice
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.
My last laptop was an Asus, it wasn't horriable, but it was bulky had a low battery life, the harddrive died and had to be replaced and now it wont turn on. My mom has a HP and it seems nice and we haven't had an issue with it yet. I tend to stay away from Dell just from the long term stigma, but I haven't really kept up with current company trends for about a half a decade.
13. What country do you live in?
USA
14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
Going to school for computer science, looking to get into game design. I work with programs such as Maya, Unity, Gamemaker. Games I have played recently: Ghost Recon Phantom, Torchlight 2, Borderlands 2.
