    Hi,
    New here to notbook review and have a question about the M17x's battery life. Is it possible to use the M15x's smartbay battery for the M17x? if so is it possible to know when the M17x's 12 cell baterry is over and switches over to the M15x smartbay battery. while the M17x is using up the Smartbay battery is it possible to hot swap the dead m17x 12 cell battery with another 12 cell battery fully charged never having to shut down the M17x? and another question how long does the M17x battery life last while on stealth mode?
