General Questions
1) What is your budget?
No more than £1000, the cheaper the better as I'm a student.
2) What size notebook would you prefer?

I don't mind.
5) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?
Gaming(primary), internet, media, perhaps some editing aswell.
6) Will you be taking the notebook with you to different places, leaving it on your desk or both?
I will probably be carrying it about into different rooms. WIll rarely be left on a desk.
7) Will you be playing games on it; if so, which games or types of games?
Definitely. MMOs, shooters(Though not crysis!), RPGs. Don't really want them to run on the best settings possible, but something which could run newish games over the next 2 years at medium/low settings.
8) How many hours of battery life do you need?
Will be plugged mostly in so not really an issue.
9) Would you prefer to see the notebooks you're considering before purchasing it or buying a notebook on-line without seeing it is OK?
Will be buying online so don't mind,
10) What OS do you prefer? Windows (XP or Vista), Mac OS, Linux, etc.
Windows preferably for games. Prefably VIsta(I also have an OEM disc to install on it so the laptop doesn't necessarily need to come with OS installed)
Screen Specifics
11) From the choices below, what screen resolutions would you prefer?
Whichever is best for gaming(I'm assuming D?)
d. WUXGA - 1920x1200; Very small text and icons, that can be hard to read. Lots of stuff fits on the screen, which means less scrolling. Good for applications that require a high level of detail like CAD or Photo Editing.
12) Do you want a glossy/reflective screen or a matte/non-glossy screen?
Don't mind.
Build Quality and Design
13) Are the notebook's looks and stylishness important to you?
No.
14) When are you buying this laptop and how long do you want this laptop to last?
I'm looking to buy as soon as possible(hopefully today) and I'd like it to last 2-4 years.
Notebook Components
15) How much hard drive space do you need; 80GB to 500GB? Do you want a SSD drive?
300GB + preferably. But don't mind less if it's considerably cheaper.
16) Do you need an optical drive? If yes, a CDRW/DVD-ROM, DVD Burner or Blu-Ray drive?
DVD burner, Although don't mind spending an extra 20-50ish if a laptop comes with Blu-Ray.
