Hi,
I'm in the market for a new laptop but I need some help. I'm looking for one with great battery life i.e. >6 hours. It needs to be larger than 11" but I have no limit on the size - a 17" laptop would be fine as long as it has good batt. life. I would also like snappy performance on multi-tasking with relatively simple tasks such as listening to music, websurfing, and writing. It also needs to be perfectly able to play video. If it can play some games great but gaming is far more of a bonus than a requirement. Also, I would prefer to spend less than $800 but this is not a hard and fast guideline. If you need any more info, please ask. Thanks in advance!
