I'm going into college soon and need to get a laptop, I plan on going for a mim of 4 year. I'm unsure of what I want to do yet, however I'm looking at MIS, Computer Programming, or game programming/design/development. I'd like a laptop that would be good for programming/making video games I plan on trying to make a few games this summer to see if its something I'm interested in. I'm looking at XNA Studio for the moment and for IDE and such probably the Visual Studios. I'd like something that'll last me for a bit thats not sluggish. I don't know what my $$$ limit is quite yet, however I don't want to buy some top of the line gaming laptop and preferably not spend more then $1,500. I prefer a big screen so 17 inch HD mim *preferably something that I can see ok or well with in the sun.* I'd like some "bells and whistles" if possible, like a finger print reader, built in mic, and tv turner.
