    Ordering from Canada. I'm looking for a slightly-better than general use laptop, intended for mild video editing, basic 3D modeling, the usual internet browsing, and of course, Doom. An additional bonus would be some smooth performance on medium-detail games like Skyrim or DS3. I'd like to try a machine that can do some decent OpenGL.

    And, yea, those are my current candidates. As I've no experience with laptops (desktop + mobile phone), I'd like some help with choosing my first laptop. Suggestions and input is more than welcome. At the moment, I'm leaning towards the $799 Samsung because its battery life and decent GFX I can see myself using, but the 2/3 HR battery lives seem really disappointing.

      Do you actually plan on leaving your house with your laptop?

      It seems like half of the people who purchase laptops nowadays never have it off their desk.

    Here in Toronto.

    Tornado warnings up north in Barrie, and thunderstorms + rain + heat + humidity warnings here in Scarborough. The rain's coming in sheets, and leaves are travelling upwards. The rain's practically flowing back up, and over 130,000 people are without electricity.

      Move into a basement or interior room of the house such as a bathroom. Stay away from windows.
