Chameleon? Schenker offers an inexpensive and very freely configurable business notebook based on the Clevo W551EU Barebone. Does the endless competition leave room for such an alternative?

I had very high hopes for this laptop. I'm somewhat disappointed with the battery life especially as it's so much worse than the Samsung Series 7 that gets 10 hours surfing on WLAN despite having one of the most powerful mobile video chips around (see http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Samsung-Series-7-Chronos-770Z5E-S01DE-Notebook.91341.0.html). Factoring in the difference in battery (62 Wh vs 91 Wh) I would have expected 6 hours at the very least.
