So in July I'm going to be buying a new laptop to upgrade from my 2009 Dell. I know there's lots of people here who know a lot more about PCs than I do. So I'm looking for some advice. I use my computer mainly for web browsing, torrets, word processing and some gaming (Star Wars The Old Republic and Civ 5). Here's some PCs I've shortlisted:
