I do not care about weight or size as long as it is a laptop. I know that desktops get more for your money, but I want a laptop. Please do not say I should get a desktop.
My price range is no more than 1,500 but i do not need the best laptop, it it is only slightly better but costs a ton more.
I want a PC with windows 7 or 8 touchscreen or none it does not matter. Also, any ideas on how to choose is also good.
I will be used mostly for running programs I made, minecraft (feed the beast), and usual everyday uses.
