I need a laptop, but not those ones that weigh an elephant and can't play crysis on "low". Basically I'm going to uni soon and I need a laptop. I was thinking of building it as I've built numerous PC rigs. But, then a laptop is not the same, parts are harder to find and probs harder to build. I've read the FAQ and I'll try and follow it a much as possible :
1_What is your budget?
Around 500 euros (I'm living with the frenchies)
2_What is the size of the notebook that you are considering?
A 17" screen would be nice.
3_What screen resolution do you want?
Don't care, but not like 800x600
4_Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?
Portable
5_How much battery life do you need?
Enough to survive 15h (aprox)
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)?
Although I do like gaming, I don't want to get distracted. That's a no for gaming.
7_What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo / Video editing, surfing the web, playing music, watching movies, Etc.)
Video burning, surfing da web, music and movies, txt editing mainly.
8_How much storage (H.D.D Capacity) do you need?
Nothing massive, 250 maybe
9_If you are considering specific sites to buy from, please post the links to them.
Not really
10_How long do you want to keep your laptop?
Until it dies or I smash it up cause it doesn't obey me.
The main thing is that would it be better to buy or to build considering my answers to the questions.
Thx, Mojito
