Pick my laptop

Been shopping around for a new laptop to replace my old one. Basically I'm looking for a laptop that is for school, programming and of course, gaming The laptop's gotta a large harddrive, wireless networking, don't care if it has OS or not, capable of dual booting (most laptop should be able to right?)
