    hi mates. i am at the ordering screen for dell and i am confused about two things.

    1) is the 6 cell battery and 9 cell the same size? which ones is flush with the unit?

    2) there are two remote controls. one is "remote control for vista home premium". the other is "dell travel remote control, ir". which is the one that fits in the pc card slot? thanks!

    1) The 9 cell would be bigger. I got a 6 cell and it's flush.

    Can't answer number 2 because I didn't have any interest in those. Sorry!

    the bluetooth one ("remote control for vista home premium") sticks out from the express card slot; if you just want a simple and cheap remote, get the IR one.

    i got the IR.
