Hi All,
I am by no means a computer expert, but for those of you who haven't purchased a laptop for school it might be worth holding out until Intel releases the new 'Haswell" chip architecture. According to Engadget, these chips will significantly improve battery life while slightly enhancing performance and 3d graphics. I am not a gamer, but from what I have read the basic intel graphics package isnt really anything to write home about. It looks like the Haswells should be released by late June / early July.
