    So I tried Gateways live Sales chat and asked the rep if they had a battery for the 7510GX that latest longer then 1 hr and 30 minutes. He told me they did and it would cost 145 dollars and it lasts 3 hrs. I asked what the product # was and he said he didnt have it but he could set up the sale. Doesnt this seem a bit odd he wouldnt be able to give me the #? When I said I didnt want to purchase it now he constantly asked me why not and how about if he calls me tomorrow to talk about it.

    The 75xx series come with an 8-cell battery. No more battery life for us. :(
