xotic pc asus g73jh-a2 battery question

Sorry if i posted in the wrong place or something, im a bit new, but i had a quick question about the customizing you can do on xotic pc for the asus g73jh-a2. There are two choices for battery, the first being a Smart Li-ion Battery (8-Cell) and the second is a Spare Smart Li-ion Battery (8-Cell). i just wanted to know if paying the extra 110 dollars was worth it. thanks!

 

The spare is exactly that - a spare battery; $110 is a reasonable price for it, so if just one battery doesn't last long enough for you the spare might be a good idea (though you'd have to carry the extra weight to make use of it).

 

Thank you. Is there any way i can get a 9-cell for it?

 

Generally, you won't find 9-cells and 8-cells in the same laptop. That 8 cell is probably the largest capacity battery that's compatible with the G73.

 

alright thanks for the info. I have another question but its off topic. Do you know how long shipping generally takes from xotic pc?

 

I myself just ordered a G73JH-A1 from XoticPC last week, and few days ago the sales advisor told me I still have to wait for another 7-8 weeks. Hope that helps.

 

okay thank you.
wow thats a long time.

 

I got my laptop from xotic in 3 days, it is just like everything else, it depends on how far away you live. Also, I hope you don't plan on buying a G73 for great battery life...

 

The issue here isn't shipping, it's the queue for G73s.

 

haha no not for the battery life. thats why im buying two batteries
its for the great graphics. But to tell you the truth im 14 and im realllyy interested in the g73jh and i was wondering if theres anything important i need to know before i purchase mine...

 

Before purchasing, I can't think of one. However, after purchasing, I can think of at least a dozen.

Have fun with your new purchase.

 

What? Please don't be spoiled, save your parents or yourself the money, don't buy that extra battery. I doubt a 14 year old needs to travel a lot and needs battery life. I doubt anyone with a G73 bought it for those needs.

 

Powernotebooks has g73 in stock right now. Or at least did a few hours ago. Might want to check there. Also don't expect much battery life out of the g73. MAYBE squeeze out 5 with hevy tweaking.

 

5 with two batteries, yeah, should be manageable, though it depends on the usage.

 

Thanks for the info. I had a look but the stock in powernotebook has 1 SSD as primary drive and as standard, so its more expensive. Still thanks for the info

 

When I was fourteen I was begging for a $200 Commodore 64 out of the Sears catalog which my parents said was too expensive for a toy.

 

Thanks guys for all your input. I was also wondering if there was a big difference in the 8gb 1066 memory and the 8gb 1333 memory. Thanks
