Hey everybody, thanks for looking here first of all.

I need a setup to take to college, I posted a thread earlier about the m15x and decided that, that is the computer I want. Now I just need to find the max battery length set up. This is what I have in mind

i5 processor
9 cell batt
4 gb ram
125 gb ssd

I think that this will give me max batt length while doing small power usage tasks... Word, Internet etc.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Please post altered set ups or suggestions.

Thanks in advance

The M15x in my sig gets about 3 hours battery life with full brightness. It has the 9 cell.

ssd drive is a good way to improve batt life over disk hd so what im seeing you should easily hit 4 hours maybe with batt saver profile with the 240m

Great, thanks guys. The battery is exchangeable right? So if I buy another 9 or 6 cell I can change it out?
