First of all they really need a 12-cell with the 5720, that'd get some extra life out of it, but second, I still don't see why it's battery life is so bad. The XPS m170 from Dell has similar specs, but much better battery life.

Well you already mentioned the Dell 9300, but the Dell XPS m170 is also a viable option. Also check out the Sager 5720 http://www.pctorque.com/sager-5720-gaming-computers.php

Well with ordinary headphones it's easy to make it impossible to hear outside noise by simply blasting the volume, but noise-cancelling gives the option of playing something really quietly, and still not having to hear outside noise.

For the people who own the 1029, are their any complaints so far? I've got a friend who's deciding between that and the Asus z71v or z70va and right now the only thing that seems to be weaker about the 1029 is the screen. Everything...
