1_What is your budget?
I can spend around 1000 dollars, 1200 at most.
2_What is the size of the notebook that you are considering?
I would prefer 14-15 inches; 12 at lowest and 17 at max.
3_What screen resolution do you want?
Any is fine I believe
4_Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?
More for portable for the sake of being portable. I do not have a desktop but I will be taking this laptop with me to school and everywhere (don't know how heavy laptops get, but as long as it can be carried in a bag/backpack without too much problem)
5_How much battery life do you need?
at least 4 hours average
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 would prefer be able to play almost any game available as of now (starcraft II) on any settings (lowest is fine with lowest resolution) and possibly almost any game in the near future on lowest setting.
I have been looking around, using this chart as a reference, and the lowest video card i would consider is the nvidia geforce gt 330m

Not too important, i guess 100 gb or more
9_If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links.

10_How long do you want to keep your laptop?
3-4 years, possibly longer

not too important, i don't know much about it I guess as long as it can read cds when I am installing stuff
