    I'm looking to buy a z35f with a C2D T5500 (1.66GHz) and I'm looking for the difference in battery life, weight, and size between the 6-cell and 9-cell batteries. Is the upgrade worth ~$150? Any help is appreciated. Is the 6-cell flush with the back of the laptop, while the 9-cell juts out just a little bit? Size is a greater concern for me than weight, so if this is actually the 9-cell pack, I can live with that: http://www.geared2play.com/store/products/laptops/asus/z35f/z35a-pics/whiteback.jpg

    If I recall, the 6 cell sticks out, as does the 9 cell. The picture may be the 6 cell.

    Perhaps call or email the dealer and ask.
