Choosing Laptop

[gobonkers]

I use a 6 year old Toshiba, which works fine, except for the battery and the fact that the motherboard doesn't support more than 2GB RAM. I am considering the following:
Buy 9-cell battery, swap in a 128GB SDD for the Hitachi 120GB HDD
Buy a new notebook (with priority rank Haswell>SSD>Battery-Life>High-Res-Displ>Weight>Memory>Brand). My budget is $750. I have made this spreadsheet to decide my choice, some numbers may be weird, please let me know. Please look through it and help me decide what to buy.

I would suggest against upgrading a 6 year old notebook. A notebook's longevity is shorter than a desktop and harder to upgrade. Any CPU you have in there is going to be dog slow.

What are you going to be doing with the computer? If you want games a dedicated GPU is a requirement. Do you need heavy CPU power?
