    Has anyone seen/got a Z35F in real life?
    It seems to best match my needs, but I'm interested in the battery.
    1. How long does the standard battery last?
    2. How long does the extended battery last?
    3. Does the standard battery protrude from the back?
    4. Does the extended battery protrude from the back and how much?
    5. And how much does the extended battery add to the weight?

    Thanks.

    Geared2Play aka BTOTech is the only company I know of that is selling them right now... I'm not sure if they're pre-order or not but I wouldnt expect too many real world results just yet.

    How many hours do you need? The W7J with 7400go pushes 3 hours on the 6cell and has a high capacity 9 cell that is will push more than 5 hours. The lack of a dedicated GPU on the z35f will undoubtedly result in a far superior battary life. I would think you could leave it unplugged most of the day on a 9 cell!
