    Hello,

    I was checking out the D620 and it states that the weight is about 4 1/2 lbs with the travel battery. I see the standard battery is 6 cell.

    Can you tell me the weight difference?

    Can you tell me the battery life difference?

    Thanks

    Sorry - I just found the specs - 4.4lbs with the 4 cell, 5lbs with the 6 cell.

    Does it matter if I get the 65 or 90 watt ac power adapter?

    Good question regarding the power adapter.

    I didn't know the difference but I chose the travel adapter for the car and airplane, instead.

    Funny - I'm stumbling accross the answers by searching for other answers.

    The 90 appears to be for the 9 cell battery.

    I don't even see the 4 cell listed as an option yet that is their defacto listed weight :)

    I've heard the battery life is about 3 hours with the 6 cell - of course what you are doing and screen brightness effect that answer. So I would guess the 4 cell would be about 2 hours.

    I saw the specs listed with a hybrid video solution yet I only see the integrated intel which probably isn't ideal for the full vista gui.
