Hey guys just wanting a second opinion. I am looking at purchasing a new laptop by no later than November. I currently have a Gateway NX860X. It is a 17in with ok graphics. I have had it for a little more than 5 years. I am still in college working on a Computer Engineering degree. The reason I am getting a new laptop is the portability issue. It is quite a lot to heft around campus all day and the battery last no time at all. This is what I am thinking. Suggestions WELCOME!
Screen Size less than 15.6
weight less than 5.5lbs
battery life 6+ hours
CPU = I5
GPU dedicated would be great but integrated is ok
The lighter the better, but power is also important. I am generally in class for 6 or more hours a day and then work.

The link above is one of the laptops I am currently looking at. I do not want to spend over $1000. Preferably less.
Once again I would really love suggestions.
