Why do I not like a single fucking laptop being sold right now? Seriously, I've been to three stores, I've searched online, I don't like anything I've seen. I just want a power cord on the side of the computer rather than in the middle of the back, a mouse track pad that will respond to my thumb so that I don't have to take my fingers off home row to select anything, and an Intel processor.

Does anyone have a laptop that they love? I've always had Dells, and I've never used a HP that didn't have this problem with the tracking pad; if I change the sensitivity options on my mom's then it jumps around selecting things willy nilly.

This is so frustrating I legitimately think I might cry. I just want a new computer, why is it this hard?

You and my Dad should get together. He's been having the same problem, trying to work out what he needs and what's available without anything really jumping out at him. And he's faced with the problem that new laptops come out so rapidly in Malaysia because of their proximity to most of the big companies that by the time he thinks he's decided one what he wants, something new is out. *lol* He's been at this for months and only just boght a new one a couple of weeks ago.

Aim for at least 4Gb of RAM, I'd say. Graphics cards are a bit more iffy. Theoretically if it's got an i series processor, the onboard graphics should be good enough. Just scanning the comments, yeah, if you're buying at one of the big shops then you should be okay on that.

I think the least was 6Gb, and two were 8? But thank you! ♥ This was helpful, I'm glad I have internet friends to help me even if I am not in Malaysia with the next big thing. :)
