    Guys i need a new laptop and was thinking of going for U330 - 22672BU (with c2d 7350 procc@25W TDP) but after reading this thread i'm confused, by seeing the number of users of u330 here, can someone clarify few things:

    1) the ATi card can be fully disabled right? because from few posts here it seems like there's problem disabling it and it still consumes power even on integrated graphics..

    2) Will i be able to get 3.5-4hr battery life when watching DVD rips(xvid or divx) on this laptop with full charge..assuming wireless if off, screen brightness arnd 50%

    3) Any other known issues with this laptop...i know hibernate issue is one, any others?

    I need to buy one laptop soon...and a quick response will be appreciated :)
