Which Laptop will you buy
Ok i recently got the urge to buy a laptop(my first laptop that is) so i am being very picky and a little bit scared at the same time. Scared because i don't want to spend alot on something which isn't worth it. So i am asking out you guys to help me decide which laptop is best for me. I want a powerful laptop to play latest games, burn cds/dvds, connect my laptop to my tele to watch movies which are on my, run photoshop, msn, wmp and so on. I recently read a description by another user here and my requirements are almost the same. Heres what vxdesigns posted
"In a nutshell i will be using my laptop to watch movies,listen to music,planning on playing high graphics/quality previous,current and future games, run appz like photoshop,frontpage, burn dvds and cds at high fast/speed without leeching all of my system ram and cpu usage, want to connect my laptop to my tv to watch movies (with good quality/speed) from my notebook 1.5 ghz + processor 4-6 usb ports 1-2 firmwire ports 512/1 gb ddr/ddr2 fast ram 80-100 gb fast harddrive cd/dvd burner for all types of files/formats preferrable DVD±RW good quality for audio and video a good graphic card/accelerator for latest games need wi-fi or latest wireless technology to use internet easily 15-17" good quality monitor/screen preferrable widescreen s-video vga dvi(preferred not necessity as long as theres s-video) Budget = $500-$1500 Canadian Dollars " I have done alot of research myself in past few weeks and i have come up with a list of laptops i like.

You can also narrow it down to 2 or 3 laptops instead of just one. Also provide the reason for your selection. Thanks alot |

Try to narrow it down to no more than 4. It takes too long for us to look at every one of those laptops.

I would pick the Acer AS5672WLMi ( $1,069.99 ) (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834115223).
It seems to balance power with something that is not huge and you can't carry around. I really like Acer too. It also looks nice   |
