15.6 display laptop with long battery life

[colaxs]

Hello everyone

Like the title says, I am looking for a laptop with long battery life (at least six hours of wi fi)and a 15.6 inch display. I can live with 720p though wouldn't mind a 1080 screen. My budget is around 1000 usd.

What are my options?

Cheers

I really enjoy good battery life with my Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E520. I will run about 9 hours on the 9 cell battery Core I3 2350, 2.3 Ghz, 6 GB Ram, 500 B hard drive. Cost 599$ plus tax

If you won't be gaming, check out the Thinkpad T520: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2213996
