The first has the edge for travel in my view (I won't write a review though.)

You have over a thousand other choices but in this class machine you trade performance for battery time.

Is battery time your goal? And other choices include Ultrabooks.

Quite nice. Most have long battery times (not to be confused with battery life spans.) They tend to be a slightly better performance and an update from the TimeLine and TimeLineX ideas.

I can only think you haven't used any of them yet.
