    Well, you could get a W3J with its dual batteries (it had a modular bay battery), but its an older model and doesn't have Santa Rosa or DX10.

    For new and current models, you can get a 9 cell battery for the W7S and F9S, and that should give at least 4.5 hours of run time. Both feature the 8400M graphics card. Otherwise, the V1s and V2s are the only ones. The F8Sv is poised to feature battery life identical to the A8Js, or around 2.5 hours, which is pretty low.
