Great guide Sledge!

There still are a lot of questions when it comes to a budget laptop for me. As in which onboard graphics chips are better or ideas on upgrades. I also noticed you don't have much info on battery life.

Otherwise though the guide hit on everything I thought was necessary, definitely on the hdd and graphics. Many people get screwed in those departments.

Again great job, but your gonna have to write another article to figure out the onboard graphics and how to compare them. Cuz trying to compare onboard chips is a real pain.
