I am looking in the market for a new laptop for my girlfriend, here are the requirements and boundaries:
-Budget is $700 maximum
-Wants it to be fast
-Hold a lot of music
-"Have a cd rom thingy for movies and stuff"
- play games (light gaming, probably sims 3 type things)
-and lastly have a good battery life.
If you smart people could help me out that would be great! Thank you!

 
Lol'd at hold a lot of music and have a cd rom thingy.

I'd Go with the G6-2252SA

750GB HDD which would hold 200,000 songs.
HP batterys are good but cycle charge them, charge it to 100% let it drop to near flat then charge.
Core i5-3210M @2.5ghz is quick , snappy more than enough.
4GB DDR3 RAM
DVD drive and INTEL HD 4000 should be more than enough for sims 3.

this computers £400 in the UK so its $620 in US.

Lol also just because your uneducated in a subject doesnt make those who are , smart 😀 . Enjoy
