I am looking for my study as a computer engineer, but as I also game a few small games I have some features I prefere

Good keyboard where I with my bigs hands can type without getting tired

Decent battery life if possible.

Neutral looks so no Alienware 11" (Thats also way too small for my needs)

I want it to be able to game SC2 fluently (Quality dont matter, as long as I can game with 30+ fps) and Heroes of Newerth (HoN) again quality dont matter.



I have tried my brothers UL80VT but I hate the trackpad and its abit slow.

I may take http://www.computercity.dk/Products/Product.aspx?id=4561642 which is stylish and has a powerful gfx but I suppose the batterylife will be rubbish. And I am not sure if the keyboard is the same as on the Envy 14?

The only thing I have found that seems to be proper is the Envy 14 but thats just 50% more expensive than the HP DV6 and I am not sure how wise it is to buy an expensive laptop now when we got Bobcat and SB cpus coming out in the near future :doh:

So do anyone have any other suggestions and have anyone tried the UL80JT and know if keyboard/trackpad has been improved?

What country are you buying it in?

Do you have a brick and mortar store where you can check out a bunch? Best way to know if the keyboard is good for you is to get hands on.
