    Hey everyone,
    After a month of serious thinking, I finally got an Asus Z33a. I'm loving it so far. It's surprising how light it is after being used to my old 8-pound Toshiba. The 9-cell battery does add noticeable weight, but I guess it's a trade off with battery life.

    I have a question though, say I want to switch the battery from 3-cell to 9-cell when it's plugged in. Do I:

    a. turn off the laptop first, unplug it, remove the 3-cell, and put in the 9-cell?

    or can I just:

    b. remove the 3 cell while it's still on and plugged in, and put in the 9 cell before unplugging it?

    You can do option B without doing any harm.

    That's right - option B is just fine.
