    Hey Guys,

    I am strongly considering the V2S-B1, as it has pretty much everything I am looking for... but I have been turned off by the poor battery power. I would like to purchase a 9-cell battery on the side to be used in this laptop. Is this do-able? Any idea what websites sell it? Price?

    Thanks,

    Kyle MacDonald

    Probably more than the standard # of cells.

    Which probably means it will protrude from the back of the laptop.

    Yeah that's what I am thinking as well... but there does not seem like many other options for increasing battery power on ASUS models at this time...

    Is $139.00 a decent price for this?

    I have the extended battery for the V2S. It does extend about 3/4 inch from the back, but it is not bad at all.
