And why look for HDD and RAM? Those are the easiest to upgrade or replace.
With a laptop?

I look for those two because I am planning on using programs that will eat up a lot of space and use a fuck-ton of RAM (8 gigs for the new REVIT program).

Gaming is a secondary addition, which is why I don't really worry too much about the graphics card. My Dell is pretty standard when it comes to that.
