Maybe I should write some infos on my requirements.

Price shouldnt go over 900€, 14-16",should be able to play some games but will be mainly used @ university.
While looking through some tests i stumbled across the Samsung-R522-Aura which looked rather nice,
but its a tad to big and heavy for my likings ^^

What are your requirements for battery life?

You may want to check out the HP Elitebook 6930p. Very solidly built businessclass notebook that can have a Mobility Radeon HD3450 installed for some gaming. You can also configure it to have up to 24 hours of battery life (albeit, it will come out to roughly $2000USD thanks to the SSD required). With the ultra 12-cell battery, you will get up to 17 hours of battery life.

More details here: http://www.gadgetadvisor.com/computer-h ... ttery-life

Let me know more of your usage habits (such as type of game played, battery requirements, etc) and I can give you better advice! :)

I guess 2-3 hours is okay, but more is welcome :)
Im playing games like wc3, drakensang, homm, maybe sc2/d3 -> not that hardware dependant i guess!

The HP 6930p looks a bit too expensive for my tastes :>

Ahh, in that case, you may want to consider the Dell Vostro 1520

I'm not sure if the instant savings apply to the EU, but I did a quick build on Dell's website and it came out to $800 after a $370 instant discount.

It'd come with a 2.2Ghz core 2 duo, 4gb ram, 9300M GS video card, 320gb hard drive, 6 cell (good for about 5 hour of battery), LED screen, and 1 year warranty with next business day onsite support (add another year for $50)

Dell's business support is terrific!

I recommend building your own rig, you can save loads of money.

Core 2 duo E8400/2gb ram/ATI 4850 is a great bang for your buck rig.
