8) How many hours of battery life do you need?

Atleast 8 hours

Just seen this. 8hrs isn't possible at all. Most 14" laptops would give you a battery life of 4hrs.

Even most netbooks will fail to reach 8hrs.

You can check out HP dm1-3014au @ 22k if you really want that much battery life.

Check out TOshiba Satellite C850-X5212 laptop here.

This laptop is well within your budget.

It has windows 7 home basic edition.

It has 15.6 inch led screen and upto 3 hrs battery life.

Its difficult to 8 hrs battery life with 6 lithium cell battery.

Now a days most of the laptop comes with 15.6 inch screen.

Getting pre installed win7 these days in new notebooks is quite difficult
I would suggest getting win8.1 pre installed.
