Need help with laptops?

I'm going to be going to college next year and my Dad and I are looking into laptops. I'm going to be paying for most of it. I have a quite a lot of questions because this is somewhat of a big thing and need help looking for a nice one. I'm not a complete techno-tard and I do know a lot about computers but not much about laptops/desktops. Also I'm going to be using this laptop as practically a home computer but only for myself. -Price range: I don't want to be spending over 1500-1800 dollars -Size: I'm not into those small laptops but then again I don't want a huge bulky one. I'm thinking a decent sized screen yet not too heavy and easily can fit in a bag to carry with books and such. -Performance: I'm not looking for a huge amount of storage but I am looking for great performance and a decent amount of RAM and all the good stuff. I plan to use this laptop for everything (Some games online, art, projects, video editing, etc.) -Brand: Doesn't really mean much to me but the performance and durability does. I don't really want a Dell but my dad is able to get a small discount if I do. I don't know if that's worth it though. I also heard HP has nice laptops. -Accessories: USB ports, CD drives, webcam for skyping with my old high school friends, etc. -WiFi: I really don't know much about this but I need to know a lot about it. That's all I can think of for now, but if you need any additional information I can edit this post. Thanks

3. Dell can be quite costly . Try Novatech as they are nice and sleek with great performance on the higher spec models. If you want a great price and want to be specific about components try mesh. http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/ http://www.meshcomputers.com/
