Well, the past couple of days or so, I have been doing some research for a new semi-gaming laptop.
I've asked a number of people, and I've checked through a list of brands including:
Dell
HP [I get a 15% discount from them!]
Lenovo
Gateway
Acer
Asus
Compaq
iBuyPower
I've found many possible ways to customize my laptop, but I have yet to find EXACTLY what I need.
What I'm looking for -
Processor - Core 2 duo 2.0 Ghz
RAM - 2 gigs of RAM
OS: Vista Business [May upgrade to Ultimate in a year or two]
Screen Size and Resolution: 15.4", 1680 x 1050 or 1440 x 900 [This is where most of my problems are coming, most are 1280 x 800]
Video Card: 8600M GT or above [I was seeing if there was a possibility to get a 7900M GS in it, but I doubt it would be available in a 15.4"]
Budget: Under 1400$ would be great.
What I will use this for: Word Processing [MS Word], and one game, World of Warcraft, and possibly some other simulation games. I use my desktop games for high-end gaming such as Bioshock.
I have found NOTHING so far, to my exact needs.
