I'm looking into buying a portable hard drive for holding all my movies so I can take it with me to my friends and family house to watch it when ever I go and also free up some of the space on my laptop. I need advice on which brands and specifications to avoid and which stuff I should be looking at.....

I'm looking at this one at the moment which looks alright: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Computers/External-storage/External-hard-drives/auction-347996018.htm.

Tell me what you think and please help me out!

Much Appreciated :)

Answer
That's a WD drive, so it's the opposite of all right (Passport drives seem to have an EXTREMELY HIGH failure rate - higher than other WD drives, which have a fairly high failure rate already). Stick with Seagate drives if you want them to last. A Seagate 2TB (that's 2,000GB) internal drive is about $90 and a case to make it an external drive is $17 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817388001&cm_re=drive_enclosure-_-17-388-001-_-Product That's cheaper, a MUCH better drive and a lot more storage.

What would this laptop be best for?

Please don't worry about the price, it's in nzd and this is how much things cost over here.

Answer
Its a good laptop. Should be good for anything you want to do except heavy video editing or gaming at max settings. If you don't plan on gaming at all, you can get something much cheaper for what you need.

And if that was USD, 1500$ for that machine would be criminal lol. Only a 500GB hard drive and 4GB RAM..

Edit-Gamers do NOT prefer the i7 for gaming, seeing as an i5 will offer similar gaming performance for for a cheaper price.
