Hello everyone, my name is Alex. In the near future (3-4 mounths) I must replace my current Desktop with some kind of a Laptop because I will be leaving old my home town.

The Desktop:
Proc: Intel E6750
MB: medium-range Gigabyte brand, no SLI support
Ram: 4GB Corsair
Video: Msi geforce gtx 460 se cyclone
HDD: 2xWD 7200 rpm in Raid0


1. What is your budget?
~800$

2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering?
I hope for one with greater than 15' screen

no ideea, never owned a laptop in my life

4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?

6. Do you want to play games with your laptop? If so then please list the games that you want to with the settings that you want for these games. (Low,Medium or High)?
I plan to play Diablo 3 on medium settings

7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.)
no photo / video editing.

8. How much storage (Hard Drive capacity) do you need?

nothing else comes to mind now, but I will watch the thread and reply as fast as I can to your feedback (which will hopefully come).

Thx for the reply.
Both looks more or less the same, and with i5 procs the price is also the same here.
Both have HDD at 7200 rpm and 4GB RAM
One has ATI and the other nVidia video cards, and I will check the differences between the two later on.

proc wise, do I want i5 ? or will i3 do the job ?
maybe chose i3 core with more RAM for the same price?

thx again!
