5Whr * 5.86 Minutes/Whr = 29.3 Minutes less if based on that graph..

Wow, flashback to dimentional analysis (sp?) in high school chemistry... Thanks!

the 6650 will be a really nice upgrade over the 6550/5650.

20% greater shader performance (480 vs 400) + increased clock speeds

I am just hoping the LCD is better. If not I will switch brands, I don't have any allegiance to Acer.

What would you switch to? I can't find another notebook that can offer similar price/performance/battery.

Yea not to mention screen is actually upgradable.
I dare say if not for Acer aggressive pricing we never be able to see powerful portables at a very affordable price.

The Lenovo e420s is comparable to this X830TG.
Its going to have the 6630 GPU, however.

Don't ThinkPads tend to be expensive? Plus the Whr on current ThinkPads are very low even compared to the Envy 14.

Speaking of the Envy, why doesn't HP ship it with a longer-lasting battery? They had enough space to fit an 8-cell in there, I'm sure they could've thrown in a larger capacity 6-cell like Acer does.

It won't make it based on the specs, and pricing.

For pricing you can be sure Lenovo is going to milk the Thinkpad™ branding to the max.

For specs you can be sure it will lag behind what TimelineX offers.

So I do not comprehend what you mean by comparable.

Yeah, Acer single-handedly makes mainstream laptops for gaming affordable (sub-$800) to everyone.

Radeon HD 6370 is inferior to the highest SKU TimelineX Radeon HD 6550.
I think the pricing of the 6550 HD TimelineX is equals to the inferior speced dm4.

TimelineX has 3 SKU
Intel Graphics, Entry Level Radeon and Class 2 Radeon.
The amazing part is that the Class 2 Radeon TimelineX is cheaper than any other OEM's offerings.
