    That's a workstation laptop, it can't game, it's for designing 3D Graphics.

    Look, it's up to you. Either get a compact laptop that can't play games, or a big one that can...

    or how about a laptop that is very powerful (non-gaming) but has a extremely long battery life?
    any suggestions?

    I've never had that problem in 20,000 posts... weird. Oh well.
    That laptop will be able to play some lighter or older games, nothing modern like Supreme Commander or Crysis, but it'll do alright, and it does indeed have good battery life and a decent processor for a reasonable price, and being a Vaio, it'll be well built too.

    Laptop 1:

    DDR3 RAM 4gb - 1066 mhz speed
    320gb HDD
    NVIDIA® GeForce® 9300M GS - 256mb
    6 hours battery life

    ------------------------------

    Laptop 2:

    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T9300 (2.50 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 6 MB L2 cache
    4096MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM
    320GB hdd
    128MB nVidia® GeForce® 8400M GS
    3 hours battery life

    ----------------------------------------------

    Laptop 3:
    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T9300 (2.50 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 6 MB L2 cache
    4096MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM
    320GB hdd
    256MB nVidia® GeForce® 8600m GT
    2.5 hours battery life

    I'd take the first one. There probably isn't much difference from the 8400 to 9300 and the rest of the specs are better, especially the battery life. None of them can game of course...

    Yeah it will certainly play it alright. I'm not sure what settings as I haven't played the game myself.
