Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some advice on what notebook PC to buy. I need to pick between the two models which I've listed below (and nothing else). Here are my requirements:
- 15.6 inch screen
- Decent performance to handy moderate to heavy multitasking
- Decent battery life
- Must be purchased through Staples.
I'll be using it for internet, e-mail, word processing stuff, graphics design, web design, and perhaps some gaming.
Here are most of the programs I'll be running on a daily basis:
- Internet Explorer
- Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, etc)
- Windows Live Essentials
- Microsoft Security Essentials or Norton AntiVirus 2010
- Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium
- Windows Media Player & Windows Media Center
The games that I would like to run, if possible, include MS Flight Sim X, unreal tournament 3, and maybe starcraft 2.
