Yeah, the one I linked to doesn't have a CD-ROM drive either...I didn't notice that at first. You'd need to get your own External one...

I pointed out Sagers because AlienWare was mentioned. Generally, their laptops are the same because they get their chassis from the same suppliers. Sager's market is geared towards the mobile professional, and their laptops are generally Desktop-Replacements. The battery life isn't the greatest when you have a P4 3.4GHz EE w/ Mobility Radeon 9700 video card w/ TV Tuner and 7200RPM HDDs. ( http://www.sagernotebook.com/pages/n...oductType=8790 ) Note: PC Torque generally has better prices.

Since most of their laptops use the Mobility Radeon 9600 and above, and only a couple use Centrino processors, I doubt they'll last 5 hours even with a second battery...maybe a third/fourth battery?
