    Anyone out there got an S6f? I just got mine from Datavis.com (the non-leather model) and absolutely love it. I don't think I'm going to use my W7J anymore, this thing is so small and light and snappy.
    Just wondering if there were any other S6f owners.

    The battery life with the 6 cell has been running about 4 hours. The screen is absolutely beautiful, as is the fit and finish. Nicer than my W7j. It looks quite stunning, in fact.
    The main reason I opted for the S6f over my W7J was battery life, light weight, and most of all cooler running temps. My W7J palmrests used to get so hot, especially in the climate I live in where temps reach 100 degrees F. I was never really happy with that. This one is so sleek and easy to carry (3.2 lbs) with the 6 cell. Much easier to travel with.
    I'll still use my W7J (or maybe sell it) but just not as often.
    This S6f is the dual core 1.50 mhz, 100 gb hd, 3 usb, 1 firewire, sd slot...pretty much what my W7 has.
