    I wanted a notebook that had a numpad on it and that would run WOW pretty decently.

    Do you think the system below which seems like a pretty good deal will do ok?

    Note: It will qualify for the Windows 7 Upgrdade and it also comes with a 6 cell battery only.

    How much time will this probably give me as far as battery goes? I'm used to about an hour unplugged on my Inspiron 6400 that I'm selling. I'm hoping for at least a little more.

    They won't switch it out with a 9 cell sadly.
