    I'm thinking of getting a Studio 17 but want more battery life. Has anyone successfully used a 3rd party external battery to extend battery life? I realize this will add weight that you have to carry, and there may be a physical configuration problem on small tables (such as Peet's coffee tables---my idea for this is to velcro the battery to the back side of the display). I also need a battery with its own charger so it can charge simulataneously with the laptop's internal battery.

    Thanks,
    Mike
