Hey guys! So my main rig is my sig rig and its my all purpose desktop. Mainly for gaming but obviously being in HS i use it for some occasional school work and essays as typing for me is 8 bajillion times faster (and neater) than hand writing so i do all my papers on it. Also my birthday is coming up and i have some money saved up and as im not at the spot where i want to upgrade anything on my main rig, maybe a lappy would be in order. ATM im using my moms old work laptop we sorta share if either of us travel and i use it for typing as windows got corrupted on my gamer so i had to re install windows and lost the install.
Firstly, it's slow. Like painfully slow as it's had many years on it and i cant even think of the model Dell it is. Also it's definately been through alot. It's got many many years of traveling under it's belt and though still usable, it's about done. The screen part where it folds is duct taped on the left corner and makes a cracking old sound when you open it. The screen hinges are lose and wobble alot too. Overall it's in bad shape. I am not knowledeable on lappys what-so-ever so im asking here. this is my criteria:
not a mac
light gaming (no need for maxed out crysis but id like to be able to play counter strike or COD or maybe bf3. None of these have to be anywhere near maxed but just playable so a decent nvidia gpu)
Pretty good processor (quad core with a turbo boost of over 3 ghz atleast)
hopefully under $1600 bucks at most 2K
webcam doesnt matter i have many
backlit
looks good and sleek preferably black
not razer ;p
atleast 13 inch screen
good battery life
decent temps but i have a usb lappy cooler
portably small (ie can fit in a backpack well)
not a mac
If i think of more i'll add. Like i said im clueless but the only ones that come to mind are Razer which is a no no as its mad expensive and OP, some asus ones that looked good and well priced, and i made a custom origin pc one here - http://www.originpc.com/cart/?task=view
These things break my heart as a custom desktop can be hundreds less and miles more powerful. So any helps would rock!
