Buying a laptop - for the first time
Hello.
I'm on the market for a new laptop, but as I have never bought one, I think it would be good with some advice.
Basically what I'm looking for is a laptop for studying, but also medium gaming, and perhaps Photoshop.
It has to be well constructed, so I can take it with me without having to be worried it will break if I handle it carefully.
I'd like to have one with a long batter-life per charge.
It has to be in 15" range, and preferably not too heavy.
Wireless network is indeed a need.
Somewhy I prefer a dualcore, I do not know much about that stuff though.
I want it to be able to run programs like iTunes, Firefox, Word and perhaps Photoshop at once, without being too slow on it.
Does anyone have any suggestions to specifications I need for this?
Maybe someone can suggest a brand that sounds like what I'm looking for?
I'm all new in the laptop world, so any suggestion is welcome.
Thanks!

PS. Price-range would be in 700-1000$ preferably.
