Laptop with long battery and optical drive

by Chef-Devon Jun 27, 2009 4:21AM PDT

I travel a bunch and I honestly can't find a laptop with a 5 hour or longer battery and an optical drive for $800 or less.
I really need suggestions.

Thanks

And built units with bigger batteries. You won't "find" 5 hour battery equipped units in stores since the emphasis is on retail price points. And no I didn't bother to try to hit your price target but it is possible if the only option you change is to the big battery.
