    Hello.

    I would like to know about the 9-cell battery for the Dell XPS 1330. Dell says that the battery will stretch out at the back of the computer. Does anyone have a photo available with a 1330 + 9-cell, and maybe 1330 + 6-cell? That would be great.

    My next question is about the GPU. Since I've planned (as you might have understood, I haven't bought the XPS yet) to use an external LCD when at home, I would really like to know what resolution the GPU (128 MB nVidia® GeForce® 8400M GS) is capable of.

    Thanks!

    GPU can do all standard resolutions! Resolution does not push this card.

    You guys are fast. Many thanks, powerpack (and you too, flipfire). I got worried when I saw the review, I thought the battery in the top was the 9-cell, thus going out also to the left of the computer.

    Thanks again.
