Hi, i'm looking for a laptop to buy for college. I'm going to have my i5 2500k desktop with me, so the laptop is just for work outside my dorm.

What is your maximum budget? $400-500

What country are you in? US

What will be the uses of this laptop? Mainly web browsing, watching videos, word documents or powerpoints

Do you have brand loyalty or care which brands we select for you? preferably one of the better quality ones like lenovo or maybe asus?

What screen size do you require? 13-15 should be fine, dont need a 17 inch

What screen resolution do you require? nothing in specific

Are you looking to buy NEW or would refurbished/recertified/used be okay? new

How long should the battery last? (Under optimal conditions, no movies/games/heavy internet) just the normal length

What games would you like to play with your laptop? And on what settings? maybe league of legends on low settings, not a big deal if games don't run

Is there a certain style of laptop you want? (aluminum, black, gaming, etc.)
preferably good looking smile.gif and not very heavy

How much hard drive space do you need? doesn't matter

Do you need any special hardware? (blue ray, webcam, specialty ports, etc.)
