But battery life looks to be about 300 cycles so would you call the long battery life?
<span id="INSERTION_MARKER">Hi there. I'm torn between the Lenovo ThinkPad x121e and the Edge e320. I mainly need to manage web content and edit text, including html , but I occasionally (once a fortnight-ish) do a bit of dtp and illustrating. I have a 1TB external HDD, so I'm not too bothered about storage (both come with 320GB). Portability and a long battery life so I can work from wherever is the prime concern. I'm leaning towards the x121e, low-voltage i3 (highest possible with this model) with 8GB ram for serious multitasking. But I'm worried about how well it will cope when I hook it up to my LCD monitor to do a bit of graphics work, in which case I might be better with the e320 with an i5 processor and dedicated graphics card? HELP!
