If you wanted to be on the power saving and battery life side of things then an 18" screen and i7 probably isnt the thing to look at. When i see something like this i expect lots of powah so id want a 4870 or the likes in it. (No rehashed g92 junk)

Edit: Just saw the price on the bottom. Thats a very nice price for projected specs.
