    I'm curious how a W7S looks with the 9 cell battery.. and how bad the overheating is that's complained in several reviews.

    Edit: found some pictures, ugly butt.

    The W7S doesn't get that hot...it's not going to overheat. It does get warmer than most laptops, but then again it's quieter than most laptops as well. The heat is only really noticeable while under load for a period of time (like during gaming). Under light usage, like surfing the internet or doing word processing or watching a movie, it's fine.

    Oh and yeah it doesn't exactly look pretty with the 9-cell. Then again, I don't think I've ever seen a laptop with an external extended battery that I would call sexy.

    M1330 lifted the laptop up to provide better ventilation with its 9 cell. :(
