    Hi,

    I purchased a refurb Dell 1737. I hope the refurb one is good and anyone can share their experiences about that?

    I am actually wondering about the battery. The reviews mention long batter life but the description on buy.com said that the battery can go about to 6 hours and 39 minutes. Is that possible on 9-cell or do I have a 12-cell in there?

    Do they even make a 12-cell for the Studio 17?

    Anyway, for reference, on power save mode and 1/3 screen brightness, my Studio 1535's 9-cell has gotten just over 5 hours at the longest, although to be fair, it's a Chinese knockoff battery, not an original Dell battery.

    max battery life=wifi off+screen at lowest britness+minimum cpu usage(office). i didnt run any battery tests at all, studio 17 is 8.4lbs with 9 cell battery, not rly means for carrying it around all day.
