I'm looking to get a laptop, and want to really be able to do the following things:
Run complex Excel workbooks
Word processors
Sim games like FOF/OOTP etc...
Other games like Sim City, Civilization (can't think of the new game I have, but it's along those lines in terms of demands I think)
Wireless internet
DVD burning ability possibly
It doesn't have to be instantaneous quick, but I would like to be able to run these programs so that they I can run multiple things at once without any noticable side effects... I don't think any of these things should be too draining on the processor, so I know I'm not looking for a top end laptop.
However, I really am not familiar with laptops a whole lot, I have a basic idea when it comes to desktops though. I'm looking to get a bargain here, but really I'm just trying to a) get an idea of what is reasonable, b) get an idea of the actual differences that some of these websites have that amount to $400 differences really are.. and c) see if all these things add up to being worthwhile... Any advice would be appreciated!
