Need more input...

Do you want a mobile laptop or a desktop replacement? Desktop replacements are generally cheap... but the battery performance is usually poor. If you want a laptop to be truly mobile then you need a longer battery life... centrino based lappies seem to have the longest battery life - my Acer runs for about 4 hours sometimes 5 depending on what I am doing.
