    So my father wants me to get him a new laptop, but I dont really know what options are out there, as Im more of a PC guy.

    So I was thinking who best to ask, but, you all :)

    So here is some info:


    Budget: Less then 1000

    Intended use: Internet, e-mail, general work around word processing.

    Mobility: Mobility not a big issue

    Warranty: Not sure of this one

    What Operating System do you use? Windows! Win7 or 8 (perosnly I hate 8 and if I get it for him I know im going to have to teach him this, so id like win7 over it :P)

    Other info:

    Has to be 17in screen.

    He does like a fast laptop and something that is going to last 5 years min.
    So getting a few extra ram etc now that will keep it running in the long run is what I think he needs.

    Also, I have a dell, and it is crap because, as I type I put pressure on the plastic which is cheep and crap and transfers the pressure to the touch pad (mouse thing!) that means the curser just jumps around and distorts my typing. I have to use a keyboard now, and am a little worried this could be an issue on other laptops. So would like someone to put my mind at ease or to confirm this could be an issue :)

    Thanks in advance for taking time to give me some advise ;)
