$800 to spend on new laptop, any ideas?

[insert username here]

my dad is going to spend about $800 on a new laptop for me because i am going to college and in need of a new computer.

so i wanted something with the following specs.
-built in card reader
-usb and firewire slots (for xbox 360 hacking when i get one)
-touch screen (optional)
-weight doesnt matter
- a data processing beast
-a high capacity hdd
- a decent battery life.



ill post more specs later because i need to leave for school. any ideas are welcomed even if its not in the $800 price range
