    I can't find any rear view images of the new 7805-u. Anyone who has purchased it- can you confirm- does the battery stick out significantly in the back? thanks-

    yes, it sticks out about 2cm due to being a 9 cell. Same as 7811.

    IIRC the battery on all the P-xxxx FX Laptops stick out its not too bothersome but may make it more difficult if your using a laptop sleeve instead of a laptop bag/backpack to carry it around.
