    Where would be a good place to find an R1 battery? I asked dell but they're charging $150 for it D:

    I have the old su7300 1.3Ghz Dual core processor w/ the 335m gpu and stock everything else.

    Remember thats a used battery, so your saving 50 bucks, but your also getting a battery thats already half used up... would you buy a hamburger thats half eaten because its 50 cents cheaper?

    Can't believe there still isn't a 3rd party battery for the M11x yet.

    Lol great analogy, I for one would go with a new battery. Atleast you have the satisfaction of knowing it's new and I'm it'll have some sort of warranty incase it craps out before it's time.

    I've had bad experiences with 3rd party batteries, at least when I still had my powerbook g4. Got a 3rd party battery for that and not only did it not sit right but it just about caught fire. Needless to say my experience isn't common but since then I've been very cautious on who I buy laptop batteries from lol.
