    OK so im about to buy a 1420 and ive decieded on every aspect for the laptop except for the battery. I want the 9 cell because of the additional run time, but i hear it sticks out a bit. Can any one tell me how much it really sticks out, cause the thought of a battery sticking out of the the back of the otherwise sleek 1420 makes me shiver. So im leaning more towards the 6 cell, but im sure if the battery life will suffice. i heard its idiling with just wifi u can get up to 2.5 hours(6cell) can any one post pics with the 9 cell or mabye battery life with the 6 cell. thats would be greatly appriated

    I believe the review posted here on notebook review of the 1420 has images of the notebook with the 9-cell attached. Linky

    I have a 1405 with a 9-cell and I really don't mind it sticking out at all.
