    im thinking about purchasing the extended battery for the 700m because I can only get around 1hr 30 mins with wifi on. I need at least 3 hrs, does anyone here have the extended battery? Can you tell me how much life you have with wireless on?

    The longest I've left my computer unpluged with WiFi on and the extended battery has been about 4 hours, I haven't tested the limits but 4 hours is not bad at all.

    the standard batt is 4 cels

    the extended batt is 8 cels

    if you're getting 1.5 hours with what you're doing (wifi on/off, screen brightness), then you can expect roughly 3 hours with double the cels
