System Specs

I don't really see how anyone buys these things, but I know there are people out there that will buy anything. I need a new laptop, but I prefer something in the mid-range. Mid-range graphics card, preferably one that can be disabled so I can use the more efficient onboard card, mid-range CPU, 15" LCD or smaller, and most imporatantly good battery life.

Seriously though, I could see people that travel a lot that like to play games buying something like this. People that spend more time in airports and hotels than they do at their own home. I knew a guy like this, he would spend maybe one weekend a month at home, he was my neighbor for a while. He had a very nice laptop for playing games, him and I would play CS:S together when he was on the road. He always had a nice laptop, he loved being able to just plug it in at whatever hotel he was at and play games and he used it for work also. He did presentations at business or some crap like that, I'm not exactly sure about what, but it had to do with advertising.
