I've been looking around for a laptop for a while, but can't seem to find one that suits my needs. I like everything the sagers offer, but I want more than 20 minutes of battery life. I liked the Toshiba 5205-S703, but it isn't offered anymore. Who offers a laptop with a mobile chip, good battery life, USB 2.0 ports, WIFI optional, at the minimum a SXGA, UXGA preferrable, and a 5400 RPM hard drive? Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks for the help!!

The Compaq Evo (http://h20022.www2.hp.com/busprod/CatAtAGlance/0,,type=89315%5Ecategory=,00.html?lsidebarLayId=486) offers all of that and more.

I've had an Evo N610c for about 6 months and like it very much.

I would probably like a larger screen if I could get one. A 15 would be nice. Any other ideas? Anyone know why Toshiba got rid of the 5205-S703? Thanks for the help! Keep em coming.

Pentium-M CPU
(Centrino if you opt for the Intel Wireless NIC)

Options for 802.11a/b, b, or g
Optional 40 GB 5400 RPM HDD
