    since 1400 and 1420 looks exactly the same, anyone has a picture of 1420 with 6cell and a picture with 9cell?

    im buying a vostro 1400 and i was wondering how much the 9cell would stick out.

    im assuming the batt life on 6cell is around 2hrs avg and 9cell is 3hrs30min avg. is that correct?

    thanks

    From the 1400 manual :
    69.25 mm (2.73 in) (9 cell)
    49.76 mm (1.96 in) (6 cell)
    So, it sticks out .77 in.

    Check my "1420 here pictures momentarily thread" (its the link in my signature) - there are pictures and dimensions and weight with the 9-cell.
