I'd echo that. What purpose are you looking for? I think something like 75% of battary life goes towards your screen. Also, unless you are a gamer, you don't need a super computer or anything. The worst spec computer is more than sufficient, but get a higher reliability brand that will last longer. The past decade has seen computers being replaced every 2 years, but I don't think thats the case anymore. The limit has been pushed and computers should be replaced less frequent now, replaced by smart phones and variations of iPad/Playbook (i.e. all semiconductor companies are all about low power mobile electronics, or at least thats what I see working in a semiconductors field)
