Looking for a genral use laptop to suplement my desktop. Mostly using Microsoft Office, Webbrowsing and reading some pretty heafty pdf files. Things that factor into my choice.
1. Weight - current laptop is 7.5 lbs and that is a tad too heavy. If I could shave a pound off it would be great.
2. Screen - current screen seems dull...def want something bright
3. gaming - this is not going to be a gaming laptop, but I may want to kill some time on it. I've devided games into 3 tiers based on what I estimate system requirement to be. If I run I want to run it well.
Required - need to be able to run Magic Online req dx9, 128mb video ram, 1024x768
also D&D insider shader 2.0, 1200 MTx fill rate, 128 mb video ram
Teir 1 Baldur's Gate II
Icewind Dale 1, 2
Diablo II
Tier 2 Heroes of Might & Magic V
Sacred
Temple of Elemental Evil
Tier 3 Dawn of War
Empire at War
Battle for Middle-Earth 1, 2

My main problem is that I know nothing about processors or mobile video cards. Any suggestions would be great.
Oh, I prefer to but at a local store like Best Buy.
