If it has to be integrated, at least make it a GeForce 9400M or something!

(No, I’m not asking for a GTX 280M here. That would suck down the battery very quickly and create a lot of heat, to say nothing of the price increase. However, something on the order of a 9600M would be nice, especially when I see other 800 US$ notebooks packing 9600Ms.)

AVERATEC N2740TD1E-1 on newegg, $649.

What worries me is the battery. The aforementioned model only has 4 cells.
