i need a laptop for university.
ive always wanted a really good one because i use my current one alot but fed up with slow speeds poor graphics etc.

i want it to be EXTREMELY fast POWERFUL and have a POWERFUL graphics card and also look good. i would prefer if it was not too big with good battery life.

please help, ive seen some for £1500 but they arent even good.

Please give lots of links or suggestions. much appreciated. thanks

if you want a gaming laptop alienware have nice laptops with the latest m8800gts. it will be good for gaming but it wont have a very good battery life.

if you don't want to play game but want something with great battery life and decent graphics i would get an hp.

that is the one i would choose. it can be customized with a new 45nm cpu @ 2.5ghz and 2gb of ram an 8400gs and more. it can get up to 7 hours with a 12cell battery and 4 hours on a high capacity 6cell. sorry but my links have U.S. prices.

more hp laptops

I personally like the Dell XPS laptops

These are best for gaming and would sacrifice battery life:

These are for ultimate portability, Especially the M1330 but sacrifices power.

Still, the XPS line by Dell is powerful.
