    Since several months I'm looking for a very good portable workstation, and I have been always attracted by this machine, mainly for its support of the FX3600M video card.

    What stopped me until now is the size of the notebook. It is a 17", even if looking at its dimensions it is thinner and lighter than many other laptops of its category, and up to now I always used 15.4" models.

    I would like to ask other users with this machine what do you think about the portability : are you comfortable carrying it around? Does the size ever bother you when you are moving?

    And then, what do you think about the battery life. I have read the tests, but I would appreciate some other opinion.

    Thanks in advance for any help.
