Galaga ultrapro fits all of my needs but I am a little skeptical to jump into the bandwagon before seeing any reviews of the device.

I have a tricked out Gazelle (256gb ssd, 750hd instead of dvd, 8gb ram, quadcore etc etc) and it's been a delight. I love it

I hear the battery life is poor because of the high specs.

According to mythlogic, battery life is upto 5 hours. https://www.mythlogic.com/configure.php?id=146 That's poor compared to what other haswell laptops offer.

The MSI GE40 has up to 8 hours with a quad-core Haswell processor. It seems like a good balance of computing power and battery life.
