    does anyone know if the battery types of 2020 wlmi series and 1690 series are different because their battery life is not the same 5hours and 3,5 hours.Or is it the different cpu that causes this?
    If the batteries are different can i order the notebbok with a certain type of battery?

    Theres 4-cell, 8-cell and 12-cell batteries I believe...

    They each have from 2hr to 6hours respectively on most notebooks i believe..

    I'm pretty sure the battery TYPE for those two notebooks are the same, Lithium Ion, but not sure about the cell types..

    You can order notebooks with an upgrade of cell types i believe, if it comes with a 4cell you can prolly upgrade to a 12 cell, for more money of course [8D]

    And the battery life is not always constant, depends on what you are running and at different settings..
