there are 2 batteries available, 4 cell(default) lasts about 2 hours and 8 cell (upgrade) 4 hours + i believe.

Need one of our guys here to verify, there is someone who has both the batteries.

Under heavy gaming, my 8-cells battery can tahan slightly over 4 hrs. To me, this is good For normal computing useage, my battery usually lasts for at least 5 hrs +

Ya i had both. 4-cell around 2 hrs and 8-cell around 4 - 5 hrs. Actually the 'standard' batt mentioned in other sites are 6-cells which can last around 3 hrs.

Dell lappy bags are big and heavy...i rather buy a better wan of other brands that specialise in bags...haha

i find macafee eats up alot of the ram resources.

[donald83]

I used to use Zonealarm. But i nv install already. Is it really necessary? I scared it will slow down my connection like wat the maccafee one did
