Better? I don't know about that. Bigger, sure. In my view, it's just heavier and takes up more of my precious battery juice.

 

By the way, what are the battery lives of the 1400 and 1500, compared to each other? I've been looking everywhere but I can't find reviews of both (or the 1420 and 1520) done by the same person or same test and with the same specs.

 

It seems at least 2 people in this thread got the webcam and have orders being built right now so I would say this has no negative effect. It could even speed up the order, who knows.

 

No clue, why don't you compare reviews of 1420s and 1520s and check that out?

 

Well, as I mentioned I can't seem to find reviews of each that use the same testing methodology. Obviously just letting the laptop idle and running a DVD are going to yield very different results, so I can't really compare them. By the way, do the 1520 and 1420 use the same battery? If they do, then the 1420 will probably have better life, assuming everything else is the same. The question, even if that is the case, is by how much.

 

i have been paranoid with it also..i just thought adding a 65W adapter but I did not..so silly :}

Did they believe you had your own business when you called them with your pubescent voice to ask for Home Premium?
