Occasional Gaming. 6) Will you be taking the notebook with you to different places or leaving it on your desk? Yes, everywhere. 7) Will you be playing games on it; if so, which games? Would like something with a good amount of settings. At least Lowest to Medium. For Call of Duty 4, Crisis. 8) How many hours of battery life do you need? At Least 3 Hours & more. 9) Do you mind buying online without seeing the notebook in person? No, I wanna see the notebook in person, there has to be a store in NYC to see it 10) What OS do you prefer? Windows (XP or Vista), Mac OS, Linux, etc. Vista Business, Premium, Ultimate. 11) From the choices below, what screen resolutions would you prefer? WUXGA-1080p Prefer. Not a big issue but just good for watching movies-clear. HD Prefer. 12) Do you want a glossy/reflective screen or a matte/non-glossy screen? Visuals on the screen can be seen clearly from a wide range of angles. If Not It's Ok. Anti-Glare screens. not really a issue as long as it's clear, Colorful (Vivid). Good Quality for movies. Nothing pale looking. Build Quality and Design 13) Are the notebook's looks and stylishness important to you? Yes style is important but not a BIG concern as long as it meets the specs and size. 14) When are you buying this laptop and how long do you want this laptop to last? Buying It This Week. Hoping it Lasts For 3-5 Years. Notebook Components 15) How much hard drive space do you want; 40GB to 500GB? 200 Gb and Up- 7200 RPM prefer, but a 5400 RPM will due. If possible two hard drives, one as the primary HD and another as backup to store multimedia files and my work. So I guess the secondary disk needs to be bigger. Also a harddrive that can boot windows very quickly. 16) Do you need an optical drive? If yes, a CDRW/DVD-ROM, DVD Burner or Blu-Ray drive? DVD Burner, Read, Write, everything. If possible Label but Not a Issue. I would love a Blue-Ray with a 1080p screen, but if its gonna cost me $500 more than No. Additional Technical Features Ram 3 GB of Ram, I don't see the point of 4 Gb in a 32-bit if the max is 3.12 Gb even through vista could read in in SP1 but not use it, so I see it as a waste right? But If it's 64-bit then 4 Gb is best. Other -Processor, has to be P8600 2.4 GHZ Duo and above. (Maybe P8400 if you think it could handle my needs) I don't want freezes, crashes, has to be able to launch application while playing a movie without the pause. Need a fast computer. -Want a security lock with the laptop so when I'm out I can lock it to a table (not a big deal) -Needs to have the ability to read Phone Memory Sticks. (Not a big deal) -Bio-metric Fingerprint Reader Built it; Prefer (Not needed through) Considering the Vaio Z 1366 X 768, but I don't know if a 9300m GS 128 MB will due for occasional gaming what do you think. 256 MB is a option + 1600 x 900 + P9500 (2.53 GHZ) but from $2,000 is $500 more is it worth it? How would gaming look, I like it because its light and small. Thanks Again appreciate it. Yea that link DID NOT help, thanks for trying to give me a Virus, Lucky I have a Anti-virus To Block It.

- Get a macbook pro. I promise that you'll live in regret of all the years that you wasted your time with windows, but if you don't then you can still multi boot it.
