    Is the M15x 9-cell battery worth the extra money?

    How long is the battery life with the 9-cell compared to the 6-cell? Is it worth the extra money? How hard is it to haggle it down to a lower price? Could I get it for free?

    never hurts to haggle, 9 cell does provide a little better battery life but not major, but it has an added benefit of lifting your lappy off the table gaving it better cooling.

    Only really worth buying if you need it for long term car/plane trips while playing games, there is little difference between and there both quite short when it comes to gaming. Depends what background it's for such as gaming/work.

    I myself have the 6 cell as I'm constantly next to a powerplug at my college and rarely bother without a battery.

    I hope this helps
