Grammar questions

Ii don't know how to say the following:
I don't know if this wording is ok.

ONE
The best laptop for that purpose/use would be the MacBook. It has everything he'll need, and it is the most basic Mac in a laptop configuration. It's the lease powerful one in terms of configuration/specs. I on;y need a computer with 2gb ram not 4 or 8.

I don't know if 'in a laptop config' means 'in terms of specs/config' like if it's a 2gb ram or 4 gb ram computer.

How would I phrase->

For he use I have for it, this basic model macbook is enough in terms of configuration/specs/in a laptop configuration. I only need a 2gb ram.

ONE B : For my purposes/use I have for it, I don't need a professional guitar. This one will do just fine.

TWO

I don't see him the same since he made a pass at me

THREE

FOUR
Is this correct?

FIVE
Is it possible to direct your children's sexual orientation? If your child is attracted to people of the same sex, as a parent, could you alter that if caught early. [I don't think this at all, I just tried translating it and got this.]

SIX
Is loop correct?

EIGHT

NINE

TEN
5 Her hair is blonde at the top and black at the bottom, but it doesn't gradually go from blonde to black, its a clean break from blonde to brown. You can see in the demarcation from blonde to black. The more I blow dry the hair, the more the delineation between blonde and black is visible.


[if you put this in google image, its the first picture: Half Black Half Blonde. Hair ]

ELEVEN
Unconscious drivers [not aware that actions might have consequences] running away from their responsibilities is one of the effects of the crackdown on unsafe driving. They are scared of getting caught driving under the influence of alcohol. The new laws are so stringent and penalties so severe that many drivers, rather than get/getting caught, have gone/would go/prefer to go to far as to leave their vehicles abandoned in the middle of the road.

TWELVE
I make 8000 dinars a month, which is equivalent to $1100. How much is 8000 in terms of minimum wage? It's 10 times the minimum wage which is 800 dinars. It's as if you made $12,500.

THIRTEEN
The teacher split us into 2 groups. I was curious as to the criteria used to form the groups. How did they form the groups? Were we in group B because we weren't as good as the other students?

Thank you in advance
