    i had opted for the 9-cell battery... which i think is quite decent... it sticks out bout an inch but is quite bearable to me...

    I recently set my battery setting to "Maximum Battery" and hibernated it... then I charged my battery to full and turned it on and after about 4 mins of run time i decided to see how the battery was... it showed me 5 hrs 3 mins... which is awesome... anyone else can confirm the same...

    The time it displays seems to change depending on what you've been doing with it most recently. Mine did show upwards of 5 hours at times, but if I started using the laptop for something more strenuous, it would go down to 3 hours.
