Ionus X,

Now, Ive seen and I know that not too many people take the time to do this, so Id like to. .......THAAAAANNKKK YOUUU!!!!!!!!! :lol: You not only found me a better notebook, but saved me a looot of time and money. I will be ordering my new college *cough*gaming*cough* laptop in just a few days. :) I am very excited to get it and it was a perfect fit, exceeding my expectations. And when im off to college this coming year im confident that the laptop will actually last me. So once again, thanks man, you're a champion.

Stay cool 8)

Hey, Im an about to be college student and was looking for a solid mix between battery life and recreational gaming. I was originally going to get the Sager NP3250...until I realized it averaged about an hour battery life...at best. I found the laptop below and it seems to serve my needs pretty well. I was just wondering if this little thing could run Dawn of War II and on what settings. Some other suggestions of games that I could run on here would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks guys youre lifesavers in my book. Any other suggestions of college/gaming laptops with about 3.5 hours of battery life that can run fairly new games would be more than welcome as well!

Recently I've realized that when a game has both the option of selecting a race and a class, i enjoy it more. So heres the deal, i would love for anyone to tell me of any games they know of that have custimization of both races and classes included in them. All input is greatly appreciated, thank you :D
