Here's a quote from the last review...

Despite the short battery life, the m9750 was not designed to be an ultra mobile notebook. The hour of battery life will allow simple tasks under emergency circumstances with no outlet to plug into.

If battery life is the most important aspect of your future notebook, then just buy a less expensive notebook that has 3+ hours battery life, and buy a desktop to have in your room for the gaming and rendering. The price should come out close to the same, and if you don't need gaming on the go, then you don't need a high powered gaming laptop.
Just make a guide for yourself and grade each one.
Battery life - on a scale of 10.
Internet browsing - on a scale of 10.
Gaming - on a scale of 10.
Video editing or rendering - on a scale of 10.
Document management (writing papers or other things) - on a scale of 10.
Laptop weight/size - on a scale of 10.
Example:
Battery Life: 10/10
Internet browsing: 9/10
Gaming: 5/10
Video: 6/10
Document management: 9/10
Weight/Size: 9/10
..then you should get a different laptop.
If it is...
Battery Life: 5/10
Internet browsing: 5/10
Gaming: 10/10
Video: 10/10
Document management: 4/10
Weight/Size: 5/10
...then get this one.
You also have to consider the weight, since you will be lugging this around in your backpack/computer bag. It is 8.5 pounds!!! Pretty heavy to carry around all day compared to a 4-6.5 pound alternative.
Hope this helps...
