    Anyway I can mod the Acer Aspire V3-571G-9435? The battery life on this thing is terrible.

    I have fallen in love with this machine. I don't care much for the exterior, I'm more of a substance guy. This machine is incredible, especially for the $800 price tag. The only draw back for me is the terrible battery life. Reviews place the battery life from 2-4 hours, on low brightness and just web-browsing. Is there anyway I can buy an after-market battery and replace the default one? Any way I can fix the battery life issue at all? I haven't been able to find a suitable alternative under the same price tag, and will be very disappointed if I'm not able to buy this. As a new college student, I will need to take this with me everywhere I go, so 6-8 hours of battery life is a must.
