Hey everybody,
I've been looking at laptops recently but I need help choosing one, as all the ones I've been looking at are simply too huge/heavy to bring to school on a daily basis (Read: Dell Inspiron 9300)
Basically, my budget is around the 1,500 range, and Im looking for a screen from 12" to 14" (15" absolute max, anything bigger than that starts making bookbags that accommodate the large laptops hard to find)
I really want a video card that can at least play 3D games (like Doom 3 on super low settings and resolution), but it seems only the desktop replacement models have it.
I was personally looking at the Dell 700m which seems great (perfect size, I wouldnt want anything smaller and a good battery life) But it has a WXGA screen (possible ghosting during games), and non-gaming video card (Intel Extreme Graphics) which really discourage a purchase.
In a nutshell, what I'm looking for is a small/thin/light notebook with a 12"-14" screen that can game (somewhat), have decent battery life (something like 2 hours isn't enough when I'm just taking notes) and within the ballpark of 1,500 dollars.
Ive been researching notebooks and basically it seems all thin/light notebooks cant game whatsoever and thats why Ive come to the large audience of GAF and seek advice =D
Thanks for those who reply
