What are the top 3 (plus a bonus) hardware specifications that a very good and lasting Laptop for essential work and entertainment use should have.
My crucial specs would be: 1. RAM - The memory should be maxed-out, no matter what! 2. HDD - What is any computer without a large capacity Hard Drive. 3. DVD-Writer - There's never enough memory, so being able to output all you can is always good. 4. Processor - If I had an extra wish granted, it would be to get the best in processing power. What are your top 4 specs?

good points shadyi, very good points.
I guess the importance relies mostly into what is upgradable and what is not due to space or other restrictions. For instance, the CPU and GPU are not upgradable (that I know of) but RAM is and as for HDD & DVD-W, you can always have them external. not bad at all. so I would have to change my list then: 1. CPU 2. RAM 3. GPU Does anyone have any better ideas?
