I have decided several things about the one I'm getting. You should know these things before you give me advice on what to get in it, so there are no misunderstandings.
1. It is not primarily for gaming. I need a solid laptop that is durable, and won't die after a few months.
2. I don't need and don't want all the unnecessary frills and cool LED lights and add-on keyboards and stuff. It's all useless, and don't tell me they're cool. They're needlessly expensive.
3. Durability and reliability. I plan to use the thing to hold my presentations for classes, store projects-in process, as well as type term papers and so on. I don't want the thing crashing two days before my [paper is due, and me needing to tpye it all up from memory.
So, tell me about the parts that are in the thing, what you thought of them, whether they're reliable, and so on. Thanks for the help- I'm not exactly a genius with computers, and I know it.
