I'm looking for a good school/personal notebook, and this seems really good, I don't care about the weight (its 6.3 pounds). And its got a pretty damn large battery (9 cell).

If it doesn't work, its the Dell Studio 15 Best option.

Its 999$, with these specs

this maybe? You could game on this one a little more readily, though it only comes with a 6 cell battery.

looks good to me, haven't been in the midrange laptop market for a while so I can't tell you of any better deals in particular

Wow, thanks, I am gonna look into that one, really good. Battery isn't THAT much of an issue, I can just plug it in in any classroom.
