OK so I am looking to buy a laptop primarily for school work. I am currently in year 11 and would like a laptop with:

- A fairly large screen (~17") and can handle a lot of processes.

- FAST (BOTH internet and processor speeds)

- Be able to handle some games and Microsoft Office and other software.

- Durable (will be needing it for a few years)

- Maybe lightweight (NOT a requirement)

- A fairly large HD (NOT a requirement but it is PREFERRED)

- Windows 7 (Doesn't need to come with it)

- Optical drives and sound cards

- DVD burner

I don't have a set/exact budget, but to give you guys an idea, let's say I have a budget of around $700.00 AUD.

I can't think of anything else specific that I need for the computer.

I am looking at this one right now:

You'd need to find a dealer in your part of the world, but I'd look at these models:

TOSHIBA Satellite P775-S7160 Notebook Intel Core i7 2670QM(2.20GHz) 17.3" 6GB Memory DDR3 1333 750GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...

ASUS K73SV-DH51 Notebook Intel Core i5 2430M(2.40GHz) 17.3" 4GB Memory DDR3 750GB HDD 5400rpm Blu-ray-enabled DVD±RW/CD-RW NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M

ASUS and Toshiba are very highly rated in reliability, even over Apple, and much better than HP...

Here are a few selections of laptop reviews I think you should take a look at as these could help you find the perfect laptop model for you
