I'm quite happy with my Asus U35F, although I went with the one that just has integrated Intel HD graphics (the U35Jc has nVidia 310M). It gets about 8-9 hours battery life with moderate use, but only a little over 4 hours if I really hammer it with something like a virtual machine running a game. You might want to look around at Asus's U-series laptops and see if something sparks your interest. That's where the longer battery life models tend to be for Asus. _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
