Hello! So as the title indicates, I'm looking for a new laptop. I'm just about ready to chuck my current laptop in the garbage, as it has been nothing but headache since I purchased it! I currently have the HP Pavilion dv6-1260se Artist Edition 2, purchased from Best Buy 2ish years ago. It over heated constantly (it's currently in the shop having its hard drive replaced for the second time...), many sound problems, the custom theme was really buggy, battery life sucked... just not a good laptop for me :(. So! since it's warranty is almost up, I'm starting my search for a new one. thing's i use my laptop for:

Sims 2 & 3 player (I play with a lot of custom/downloaded items), Online games such as S4, World of Warcraft, I watch TONNES of anime and movies, I'm constantly on the computer, so I'd prefer not to burn the skin off my lap after each use >.<, OH! and i am a student :).

I prefer to have the full keyboard, but it's not a necessity. I spend about $1600 after tax and 3 year warranty on my HP, so I'm looking to spend about the same.

Suggestions? I'll probably be purchasing it from Best Buy or Future Shop, mainly due to the warranty they offer.

Many thanks :)
