I will say dv5-1016tx if you can get it as dv9734 tx is not as good.
if you want the screen size then go for dell studio 17 or xps stuido 16

for battery all are same, you need to go for 9-cell battery for longer running
opt for P series processor than T series, check weight of laptop strictly, if you wanna carry suck a big heavy machine all time then tell us. There are huge config MSI and gigabyte notebooks.
and also stay away from sony, they are never worth their cost in my say. they never give good config
