HP Pavilion Netbook DV2-1030us

Memory: 1x 4GB DDR2 PC2-5300
GPU: ATI Radeon Mobility 3410 (512 MB dedicated, overclocked to 680/580) (10.6 ATI Drivers)
HDD: Seagate 320GB HDD - 5200RPM
Other: Dedicated 4GB of Sandisk Extreme III 30/mb (ReadyBoost)
I was wanting to get into the netbook market, but didn't want to sacrifice on graphics so that I could play a decent array of older games. So this netbook was the final decision. The ATI 3410 HD Mobility is overclockable, and easily runs WoW for example @ 84 FPS decent settings stable in exp zones/battlegrounds. The only game I've had any problem with so far is FFXIV, but it will run. Just not anywhere near as optimal on it.
Enough for games, as for the battery life, every person and their mother have given reviews of only 2-3 hours of battery life. With Video card/BIOS Updating/tweaking while on battery, along with some other tricks. I've managed to pull in 5 hours.
Anyways, goodluck.
