processor with Nvidia 335M graphics but then its battery life is not too<br>
good. Can anybody suggest something with good processing power,<br>Nvidia graphics and not too terrible battery life? Also, I don't want too large,<br>14" screen looks to be good. I will be installing linux, of course.<br>
