    I have a little concern about the battery of W3v. Since it is part of the hinge, can it be replaced when it's gone death, or can it be removed when I am running the laptop with AC adapter?

    The reason why I asked is because I don't see any resellers sell extra battery for W3v. I only see optical bay batteries available in Proportable.

    I've seen pictures of the battery removed before. It'll defeat the purpose if it's not removable...

    Also in this picture: http://www.proportable.com/images/W3v/W3-back.jpg

    You can see that the battery is "seperate." ASUS just integrated it to look as if the hinge/battery was a single unit, if that was what you were worried about.
