Buying a New Laptop-Need Advice!

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a new laptop. I'd really appreciate any advice for potential buys I could get there out on the market.

Some requirements:

1. In the $500-$800 price range
2. Greater than or equal to 2.4 GHz processing power
3. Made of reliable materials (Important!)
4. Hard drive 250GB minimum
5. Screen 15in or greater
6. 2-3 USB Ports
7. Decent Battery ~2-3hours
8. No greater than 12GB of Ram, No less than 6GB
9. Windows 7 OS
10. Built in Webcam and Microphone

Things I'd Like:

1. A decent video card that can run some recent games (not integrated!)
2. HDMI output
3. DVI output
4. SSD if possible, but by no means necessary
5. At least 4 hours of battery, but yet again, not necessary
6. If possible to not exceed $700

Things I Plan on Doing:

1. Some gaming, but nothing too crazy
2. Video Rendering
3. Multiple programs at once (>4)

I'll be updating this as necessary with things I think of as time goes on.

Thank you very much for your help and advice!
