I too have a problem with my laptop screen, one it's had for many years; the infamous fixed lines of doom! But as it's five years old and only now getting stumped by some video codec, flash games and the system requirements for certain programs. Therefore I'm now currently contemplating a replacement.
So far my list of what I want are:
*Rugged
*long battery life
*can play all of my Steam games with no problem aka: if Civ 5 doesn't crash on the largest map size possible(something my desktop has trouble with)
*will stand out in any corporate environment I might visit (No Dell Latitude, certain HP, IBM/Lenovo models)
*slot loading optical drive is preferred over tray
And it must be reasonably cheep....
Dang, I just realized that my list may limit my choices to Apple, Sony & Samsung......
