I would like a laptop, I'm looking for one that can handle games like Fallout NV at a good framerate with good settings, which I guess would be a 960M. 

I would like 6-8gbs of ram, a 4-8 hour battery life, A 256gb SSD if possible, or a hybrid drive, or a small sdd with a good sized (7200rpm preferred) hard drive. An additional slot for a hard drive would be nice. I'd like a 1080p screen, that can get fairly bright. I don't want it to be too heavy, and I'd like it to stay under $850 USD if possible. All help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

With that price, there is NO way to get 4-8hrs of

gaming. Maybe an hour and a half if you are lucky.

The Dell 7559 seems to get just 4 1/2 hours of battery life. It does suck though that at that price range battery life is so limited.

Thats the advertised battery life with no programs running. With that, you will get 1 hour.

Wow, what great misleading advertisement. Thank you for possibly saving my life and frustration. Companies always find a way to ruin things.

That is 1 hour of full on gaming btw. Browsing the web or doing documents or what not should last you 4 hours.

The Inspiron has a larger battery - while browsing you get 5-6 hours and 2 hours of gaming
