    Does anyone have a d620 with the 9 cell? I understand that it sticks out front...so is that causing a problem for anyone or is it something you easily get used to?

    i get about the same battery life. I really like having the 9 cell battery that sticks out. It it good for people that have larger hands.

    Rouhgly 4:30 running at full max...it sticks out, but it doesn't look awkward, and if you type a lot, serves as a nice armrest.
