My dad is looking for a notebook, for the business. All he needs it for is : internet, and quickbooks.

We have a toshiba satellite that is 2 years old, and he wants a new one. He just doesn't like the toshiba because the keyboard sometimes doesn't click the keys when he presses them. But that could just be because we have a machine shop, and dirt probably is in there. But he wants this laptop strictly for the office, and use the Toshiba for out in the shop, to listen to music or watch movies on.

He wants : 17" screen
Wireless N card built in
At least 3 USB ports
around 160-250 gb hardrive
*whatever the big cell battery is, so it lasts longer, not necessary but would pay a little more for it
*not necessary but, if possible an hdmi port


Looking to spend less than 1000, should be fairly easy I thought, but who knows.

Thanks for looking/helping out.

this is a 15.6 inch monitor, but really good specs (and very cheap) other than that. Especially nice video card for a laptop at this price range:

Nothing in my feeds on a 17" right this moment, but they pop up all the time :)
