Hello,

I'm looking for a good laptop to use for university; gaming is not really a priority. What's more important is battery life, portability and price. Can anyone suggest anything? I'm a big fan of this one:

Is that the best laptop with that level of battery life, for the price? It seems to be built very well. Are there similar products from other companies that are worth looking into?
