Hello Everyone
I'm looking into a new laptop for university, i'v made it through my first year using an ancient Compaq but am now looking to treat myself to something with a little more umpth.
The laptop I'm looking for should be able to handle high end games such as Battlefield 3 but also have a decent days worth of battery 5-6 hours ideally. From my research i believe a 2nd gen i5 processor with a 540m or 555m graphics card should suffice. The cards both having optimus to extend the battery life. As for looks i couldn't care less, its whats inside that counts. The screen size would have to be 15.6 inches.
I'v narrowed it down to two well priced laptops so far but would appreciate any input.
First - Optimus II 15.5 (Clevo)

i5 2520m
555m 2GB
and of course all the extras such as extended battery, faster hard drive and more ram.
Second - Dell XPS 15

i5 2450m
540m 2GB
and the extras again.
both come to around £700 - £800, the dells a bit cheaper.
Thank you for any help or advice you can give me
Kind Regards
