    Can you install an uprated 3rd party battery in the 11.6 2012 S7 ?

    So I like the idea of having a sub 800$ laptop with Full HD IPS. But people report the battery life is mid 1980's at under 3 and a half hours.

    Can you pop the lid open, and install a higher capacity battery perhaps ?
    And, I see theres an external power pack for it... Is that standard addition in all of the S7 configs ? They all come with the extra pack in the package ?

    Lastly, say you cannot upgrade the internal battery of the S7.... Is it still the best deal for under 750$ in your opinion ? Given an IPS HD display tops the priority...
