Need a new PC laptop...
Hi, I just signed up so I could ask this question.

I'm currently using a 13" macbook pro. It's okay but it's not a PC. I'm looking for PC equivalent of a Macbook Pro. I don't really use it for photo-editing or anything; just activities like watching movies, listening music, doing homework. (I'm a student.)

Here're the specs I'm looking for (i.e. these are specs for the Macbook Pro that I'm currently using):

Processor: (at least) 2.2Ghz
Memory: (at least) 2GB
Harddrive: (at least) 160GB
Screen Size: 13" (or smaller)
Weight: 4.5lbs (or lighter---carrying this to school everyday is giving me back problems)
Battery Life: (at least) 7Hrs.

My price is flexible at the moment.

I've googled around but can't find the perfect balance between weight and battery life; ideally, I want as small as possible with long battery life, but I really can't find a PC that fits all these criteria.

Please give me some suggestions.

Thank you!

Thanks.

Question---is this a typo:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2353246,00.asp
It says the ASUS UL30A-A1 is 3.9Ghz

If you google "ASUS UL30A-A1," all the results say it is 1.3Ghz.
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=ASUS+...5311d5ec9ae78f

Is there something I'm missing? I'm finding that a lot of the really pricey laptops are 1.3Ghz, but otherwise, they have all the features I'm looking for. So I'm wondering if there's something I'm not getting.

*bump*

I know it's been awhile since I last posted this, but I still need help finding an ideal laptop; any suggestions would be much appreciated.
