I'm looking to buy a laptop sometime toward the end of summer, and I just wanted some pointers on what to look for or where to go. Also, what sort of price range I should be looking at given the stuff that I want to do with it.
I'm looking to get a lappy since I want to start taking notes with it at school next term.
I know once I purchase a laptop, it's gonna become my main computer. That means I'll probably want it to run games (CS Source, Dawn of War, C&C First Decade, etc.). I don't need anything mind-blowing but I'd just like it to be powerful enough to at least be able to run these games really well (as a perk).
I know it'd be better if I got a tower for gaming, but I don't want to take up any extra space in my room with a desk. Portability is the main reason I'm looking at a lappy since I WOULD want to take it to school. So I definitely wouldn't want anything too heavy or too big (I'm not picky about screen size really). A respectable battery life would be nice as well.
I'm hoping to spend less than $1500 CDN. Anyone got any suggestions/pointers? Laptop advice? I'm new to the laptop thing.
