If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links. Amazon, newegg, tiger direct, fry's, and other big name stores 10. How long do you want to keep your laptop? All through college, perhaps longer, so long term. 11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ? Basic DVD burner will do, although Bluetooth would be nice. 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. Like:ASUS Dislike: Dell, Sony(bad experiences) 13. What country do you live in? USA
Other requirements: core i7 2ghz+, 6gb+ ram(4gb if there are 4 memory slots) also I'm not the one paying so don't skimp out on parts, but do find the best value.
