    Just curious but if you put the m15x in stealth mode the graphics card still runs right but then you can shut it completely off with F7 right? YOu can do both at the same time right? Just wondering but what is the best battery life possible on this beast with a single battery? I'm thinking I may need a second battery (those run about 150 I hear but I can't find them on alienware's site)

    stealth mode lets the 8800 still run, but it will run with lower clocks. pressing fn and f7 will make the integrated graphics card run after the reboot. you can have both the stealth mode and integrated gfx option on at the same time.

    if you order from customer support you can take 15% off the battery price. it should be around 130 i believe.
