about the laptop:<br /><br />pro&#39;s:<br /><br />- the one you posted has one of those nifty little chipcards from ATI, wich is quite a good graphics card (most laptops have on board graphics cards)<br /><br />- you have wireless acces to wifi<br /><br />things to check:<br /><br />is your processor a mobile one?<br />(means that it changes it&#39;s clockspeed all the time, saving you LOTS of battery)<br /><br />is your battery replacable? (it&#39;s recomended to take it out when your not using it + when you have to replace it with a new one)<br /><br />conts:<br />- that laptop seems to weigh quite a bit (3 kg ) <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />all in all, check for the things i pointed out, and i think you have a good laptop<br />
