What do you plan on using your laptop for? I never worry too much about hard drive size, since external hard drives and usb devices are rather cheap and expand the laptop's capacity by a lot. What are the current computers/laptops you have right now? Just to see where you can store things, whether it's movies or games or documents.
If you plan on taking the laptop outside a lot, then battery lifetime is something big to look at. Usually ones with smaller screens have better battery, but then there's also the graphic card that can suck up battery. NVIDIA (I believe that's what it is) is one of the best graphic cards out there, and you can ind them in Alienware as well as Acer laptops, usually more geared towards gaming. Processors are usually the same throughout most laptops, but if you like to watch youtube videos or care a lot about speed, look for that. When it comes to those, I always prefer Intel. Jut because it's easier to replace, they're usually thinner/lighter, and they haven't failed on me yet.
