So, how long is the battery life on the 5690 when using 2 batteries? Also, for those of you that have it do you think it would be suitable for taking class to class or is it too heavy for that?

Does this forum have a chat room, and if not, are they're any active forums where people discuss laptops and stuff?

ibooks are $950, they do all that.

Sorry, I got the 1711 and 1712 confused. Newegg sells the Acer 1711 for $1280. Sorry about that.

For only $1280, if you can deal with carrying around 15 pounds, its a steal.

Man, I completly forgot about that. I'll have to check up on that (VirtualPC). Maybe I will go with a Mac...

I saw in some pictures that it has 2 Optical Drives, can those be taken out and replaced with 2 batteries to make 3 total, and if not, Is there any notebook that does support 3 batteries?

I was looking at the inspiron 9100 as well (can get discount through college), why did you return it?
