    Is the 4 cell the same size as the 6 cell for 1330?

    I ask because I ordered 2 9 cells which are huge and weigh a ton and I wanna get a 6 cell if it's the same size and close to the same weight as the 4 cell.

    Why doesn't Dell offer a 6 and 9 cell config option for the XPSM1330? Seems odd to offer 4 and 9 cell or two 9 cells, but not a 6 and 9 cell.

    Flamenko, in the dell chat I was in my rep just told me they are no longer selling 4 cell batteries so it is betwene 6 cell and 4 cell. Does the 6 cell stick out as badly as the 9 cell does?

    Hey your right...The Dell canada website just now includes the 4/9cell split whereas it never before; it was removed.

    Ill get a four then....once my systems are received.
