The optic drive is one of the features that will consumes your battery life. Unless you need it daily I would opt for an external. If you're just using it to load up stuff onto your book, you can use it at home when plugged in, or as needed.

Other wise you're looking at a small 12 - 13 inch lap top and your battery life won't be nearly as good.

How durable do you need it to be? They have some Toughbooks now but they're system speccs are pretty inferior to similarly priced, regular netbooks.
