Im a student in a web animation and design course. So I'll need to to function well when typing up essays, editing pictures and video's, researching on the internet, as well as easy typing. I also like to play online games like Farmville, World of Warcraft, and offline games like the Sims and roller coaster tycoon. so it has to have decent graphics.

World of warcraft, Sims, Facebook games. 6) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like? no more acers for me... I heard Asus's were good but they're expensive, and NO MACS! 7) How many hours of battery life do you need? the longer the better 8) Do you mind buying online without seeing the notebook in person? I'd much rather be able to see it in store before buying it 9) What country are you buying this in? Canada eh? Screen Specifics 10) Would you prefer standard or widescreen? Widescreen is a plus, but it is not a dealbreaker (and if I need to get standards in order to increase gaming a processing, then I am fine with it) 11) From the choices below, what screen resolutions would you prefer? Standard a. XGA -1024x768 - Large and easy to read text + graphics icons, but you fit less stuff on the screen. b. SXGA - 1400x1050 - Compromise resolution between XGA and UXGA. Widescreen d. WXGA or WXGA+ - 1280x768/800 or 1440x900; Wider viewing version of XGA, good for movie viewing or spreadsheets. e. WSXGA+ - 1680x1050; Wider viewing version of SXGA, good for movie viewing or spreadsheets. 12) Do you want a glossy/reflective screen or a matte/non-glossy screen? preferred matte, i hate reflections while im outdoors Build Quality and Design 13) Are the notebook's looks and stylishness important to you?' Not really, as long as its strong enough to deal with portability wear and tear. I take my laptops with me everywhere 14) How long do you want this laptop to last?
