Take a look at the Dell Inspiron range.  I am now on my second Dell
laptop (Inspiron 7500)  Potato install just fine.

When you order add in the option of a second battery.  I get about 3.5
hours out of the main one, but this will shorten over time.  With a
second battery you double the autonomy time.  If your really what 
autonomy buy multiple second abatteries  - these are discharged first
so one your first second battery is dead you can replace it with the
second second battery (not need to power down - or even enter power
saving mode).

   :-) If you understand that please explain it to me :-)
