Studio 1557 Questions

I am thinking of getting a Studio 1557....but a few questions:

1) How is the battery life with the 720 i7 processor? I'd like at least 3-4 hours if possible doing tasks like web browsing and using Word documents etc.

2) Is it worth it to get the full HD screen? Is the text not too small with that resolution on a 15" screen or is it readable and useable?

3) Its hard to tell from the pictures but how does the machine look in the flesh? Is it a good looking machine?

4) How is the heat from the laptop? My last 15" laptop had a Pentium 4 processor and it overheated and eventually caused the laptop to become unusable as it kept turning off due to the overheating.

5) How is the keyboard? How does it compare to a Thinkpad or Macbook Pro keyboard?

Thanks for your replys!

 

Didn't you ask these questions five minutes before in the Dell Studio 1557 thread???

 

Do not cross post on these forums, it is against the forum rules. Thread closed; thank you.
