I was consider that ASUS one for school but I believe it only gets like 2h runtime on battery which IMO wasn't long enough. That wouldn't get me through a 3h class...

So I went with the Dell XPS m1330. Had to sacrifice the Centrino 2 CPU and the dedicated graphics (didn't want NVIDIA's failure graphics) but I got a 9 cell battery which seems to give me about 5 hours.
