I take my laptop everywhere with me, so I prefer a smaller size (my current laptop is 13"x9" with a 14" screen). I mostly just use it for stupid useless stuff like internet and to write small programs and stuff like that ... but it is still my primary machine, so it should have some power (especially since some of the stuff I program requires a quite a bit of CPU usage ). I'd like to be able to play games reasonably well (low-medium settings; I have a desktop for higher performance gameplay), and minecraft.
I could probably pull some numbers out of my ass of what I want, but I don't really know what I am talking about (I want 4-hundred jiggawatt-level processing unit, with 140 terrynanos of internal memory capacitance!).
I currently don't have a specific time frame (ASAP!) or price. Which is what I'm looking for from you, SEN. To help me make an informed decision on what, when, and how much to get. I have some amount of money saved up, but I'd prefer to dip in to that as little as possible ... So the more this will cost just means the more I'll have to save from each paycheck. I absolutely do not want to spend more than a thousand... And I assume laptops are a lot cheaper than when I bought this, so I'm expecting around half that.
Thanks in advance to any help.
EDIT:
Or at least suggestions of where/what to look for ... I'm aware that laptops are overly expensive, which is why I'm trying to get help to figure out what an appropriate middle ground would be for me (cost vs. what I'd like to get vs. what I'll actually use). :\
I don't even know where to buy a laptop (other than like Best Buy or Walmart). xD
