    My brother has the option of getting a dell vostro 1000 with a 4-cell or a 6-cell battery.

    the 4-cell option is amd x2 1.7gh, 80gb hd - $560
    the 6-cell option is amd x2 1.8ghz, 120gb hd - $620
    (all other specs are identical)

    6-cell option is worth the extra $60, right?

    would the battery uptime be in the realm of 20% and more with the 6-cell option, as opposed to 4-cell?

    thanks in advanced
