    I'm about to order the M1210 with the video card upgrade. Can anyone comment on what kind of battery life to expect when watching just DVD's at medium brightness with the 6 cell battery?

    What is the best source for the 9 cell battery?

    Is Costco a good place to purchase the M1210?

    Thank you.

    With the 9 cell i get about 4hrs 15 mins with the brightness at its lowest. However, that's with Wi-Fi on, and surfing the while and Office up.
