    There are several external laptop batteries available in the market, and I was thinking of buying a large-capacity external battery for use with my M15X so as to have power on cross-country flights. Anyone have any experience using one of these with Alienware laptops? M15X?

    Thanks in advance,

    good luck powering your 2.5k laptop with a 20$ chinese hunk o' junk... if you want battery life, get the extended 9-cell battery and a 6-cell smartbay battery from AW directly... that'll easily give you 7h of battery life.

    Now that you mention it I think I am going to look into that. . .

    EDIT: Any links to where I can buy one of these?
