My bad! :( I think battery life since you have an hour train trip each way would be good. The Xps1330 is light, mobile, can play a few older games and all strategy games. With 5.5 hours battery life you could use it there and back and type on it for 3 hour long lectures.
There are desktop replacement notebooks - 17" screen/heavy processors
There are portables - 15" screen - 2.5-3.5 hours battery
Then there are Mobile computers - 4 hours +++ with 13" or 14" screens. As you go down the list the price increases or the performance decreases for the same amount of money spent.
Tease.
