Sweet, thanks for all of your input guys. I appreciate it!<br><br>I think I'll keep the nVidia graphics for performance if I decide to game and just go with the 5400 since I'll have more than enough RAM to need to constantly access the hard drive.

<br><br></div>What will you use it for? If it's largely a web appliance, document<br>creator, etc. then get the 5400 and integrated graphics. Longer<br>battery life is worth the small decrease for these types of<br>applications. If you going to be gaming a lot, or doing other
