your #5 point. i hope you dont expect to play games for 3+ hours on battery alone.

thats going to be a far stretch on even an expensive laptop.

#2 - Fast graphics , fancy graphics ... I don't know what you mean.
#5 - As long as you plug into an A/C outlet.

I saw a lot of decent laptops at hp.com. it's decent to run any games even minecraft.

Instead of giving you suggestions which specific laptops to buy, i give you list of laptops to avoid.

1st - mini laptopns/ netbooks - avoid them.
2nd - look for at least 2ghz and 2gb ram.

recommended - Everyday Computing/UltraPortable/HighPerformance laptop.

best - Envy Laptops but thats too much just for minecraft.

favorite - HP Pavilion dv6t series or HP Pavilion dv4t series (upgraded to Corei3)
