    I wanted to know if the 9 cell battery sticks out of the laptop or does it just weigh more.

    Does anyone have a picture of the 1520 with a 6 cell battery and a picture of one with a 9 cell battery.

    Thanks in advance

    i believe it sticks out about 3/4"

    its not noticeable except in weight really. the aesthetics isn't an issue.

    The extra size and weight is definitely worth it.

    i believe the confirmed weight difference is about half a pound. definitely not 50g, but still easily manageable.
