Graphics - Battery Life ???????

Question:
Graphics - Battery Life ???????
One thing to be very aware of, dedicated graphics card in a smaller notebook = less battery life. You really need to choose if potential gaming ability or battery life is more important. Didn't want to hijack the thread I read this on so I created another.
I'm looking at the nc6400 (we have 2 nc2400's at work and they love them for traveling) and I'm trying to decide between the following:
nc6400 with x1300 64GB dedicated no dvd burner or
nc6400 with integrated 950 graphics and dvd burner
Would one of these have better battery life than the other?

I think the integrated 950 one will do slightly better then the x1300 but not entirely sure. I don't think it really comes into play until you really start using the GPU's i.e. graphicly "intense" applications or games.

I don't believe the x1300 will detract greatly from battery life, but it won't add to gaming ability much either.
