I am looking at these three laptops and had a few questions that I hope you can answer for me.

1) What kind of battery life will a dedicated card get vs the integrated 7660g?
2) Will the heat from the 660m kill the laptop faster than the 7670m or the 7660g?
3) Which laptop has the best build quality?
4) Will the lower powered GPUs be sufficient for medium settings on most new games?
I need it to be portable enough to carry to class without killing the battery or weighing me down. I figure the a10 will get the best battery life but I don't know if it will offer the power I would like.
I will be using it for school work in engineering classes over the next four years and for medium gaming. I would like to be able to play newer games and hopefully games into the near future. I also would be using it for photo and movie editing, CAD, and video transcoding.
Thanks for your help.
