Sager 2098 question

Hi, I need a new laptop for school to replace my desktop. I originally have a 14'' one for portability + decent graphics and the Asus N80 was perfect. Now that the N80 are discontinued I'm looking at the next best thing, 15''.

1) Is the 2098 build quality similar "business grade" laptops hp and dell offer?
2)Why is there no 9 cell battery option like the 2096? how long would a 6 cell last just typing and surfing on a non tweaked vista install?
3) How heavy is this guy?

It looks like a great deal with the price drop but I need answers to the above question before I can decide.

The 2098 is a better performer than you average dell or HP although it is not the best gaming laptop out there. Many users question why there is no 9 cell battery for this model. I think they did this to make the notebook lighter. The battery life is about 2.5 hours. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. The comparison I wanted between the Sager and other OEM laptop is in the area of durability, because it clearly outperforms most HP and Dell. 2.5 hours isn't that bad, guess I can live with it if I get this laptop

Here is a detailed review of the Sager np2098 http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-...k.14963.0.html

Although the review does mention that the laptop does not use first class material
