Im looking to buy a laptop in the 13 to 15 range. This is mostly to internet and office but I will also be doing some light gaming. And by light gaming I mean I dont expect to be running games for very long while mobile (not that thats an option) and I dont mind turning options down, nothing much more demanding than a single session of StarCraft while mobile and maybe StarCraft II while plugged in. Im wanting 2+ USB 2.0 ports for various accessories (mouse, game controller and backup drive) and am leaning towards a DVD drive as well for things like rented movies. I need good battery life - something in the six to eight hour range (internet/general use, not gaming) because Ill be mobile a lot during the day.
Something Id really like but dont need is a multi-touch touchpad, fingerprint logon and back lit keys. Those would all be very nice, especially the first, but not required. Plz halp, AT.
Budget is 1k but Id like to keep it under that if at all possible. I have no brand loyalty but have been coyly eying the ASUS U33Jc (though Im not entirely sure I like the bamboo...) and its predecessor the UL30Vt.
As usual, thanks in advance.
