"The TravelMate 8481 has a magnesium-aluminium chassis, aimed to make it more resilient to knocks and bumps and features metal hinges – a common weak point of laptop design."

With claim battery life up to 9 hours, most likely using SSD and without external GeForce graphics option....

if it is hd3000 + ssd,then it is good enough.

That's why I pick option 3: 64GB SSD + 320GB HDD would be perfect road warrior, something even MBA and Samsung series 9 13" cannot do...

But seem only 3 people pick that option... sweat.gif

ULV + 4 cell should last quite long lah....

Thanks for warranty info - 3 years is quite good value. Now see whether we can find mSATA SSD locally or not?
