College computer

I'm Looking for a new laptop for college. I'm looking for battery life, not gaming. My college has deals for discounts with Dell and Gateway.

I was looking at the

ASUS W1N
Dell Inspiron 8600
Gateway M275

What do you think?

I'd just make sure you get the battery upgrade, if possible. I have a 5100(which is good enough for me, after reinstalling w/o all the Dell bs), but the basic battery life bites.

BTW, welcome to TechIMO!

I kinda like your Nic, but you may want to enjoy it while you have it-I think being "Modded" is in your immediate future!

and the new 128MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600 Pro Turbo Graphics card for crisp imaging, improved streaming video, and the most graphic-intensive games.


add that and it would be pretty good...with up to 80 gig HD and the cd/dvd burner...

didn't check out price, but sounds like a decent system...
