1. What is your budget?
My budget is in the area of $1500.00 give or take.
2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering?
Since I will be using it for school I am looking for portability so 15.6" would be the biggest I would like to go.
3. What screen resolution do you want?
I'm not the biggest critic when it comes to resolution, however full HD wouldn't be a bad thing lol.
4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?
This would be a desktop replacement as sadly I won't be bringing my desktop with me
.
5. How much battery life do you need?
In terms of battery life I'm looking for something that would give me in the way of 3.5+ hours of use.
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)?
Since it will be a desktop replacement and I do game alittle I would like it to play games such as DayZ, Civ V, PayDay 2, and Skyrim if at all possible on low-medium graphics.
7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.)
As far as other tasks go, I don't foresee any strenuous tasks. I think I would just need it for word processing, probably some excel type applications but little to no photo/video editing and no autocad or autocad type applications.
8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need?
I would like to have somewhere in the neighborhood of 500gb-1tb of storage to ensure I won't need anymore for the foreseeable future.
9. If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post their links.
I've considered the following sites and laptops:
Y50 & Y510
Acer Aspire V7
I usually use newegg, amazon, tigerdirect, bestbuy, futureshop, any sites like that I have no problem using.
10. How long do you want to keep your laptop?
I need this laptop for at least the next 4 years, as this is the duration of my program
11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ?
I don't need an optical drive.
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.
In terms of brands I'm open to most. In the past I've gone with HP but have had multiple issues with my HP Envy 14 series. However, I'm not opposed to HP I would just be much more cautious the next time I look at buying an HP product. Other than that I don't hold anything against any brands so I'm willing to try anything.
13. What country do you live in?
Currently I live in Canada but will be moving to Ireland to pursue my studies.
14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
I would just like to thank anyone who took the time to read through that and help me find the right laptop. I have been trying to find a laptop for quite sometime to no avail and hope that someone will be able to shed some light on my situation and point me in the right direction. Thank-you.
