    Any of you have a picture or experience with either the 8 cell or 12 cell extended batteries for the 8510p or w (or even its predecessors since i think they all take the same extended batteries).

    I'm trying to decide if i should get one of those batteries when i order my 8510p, but i kinda want to see what they look like attached. I think the spec weight on them is like .5 pounds but does anyone who has either of those batteries find it overly cumbersome or thinks it just adds too much weight?

    I am thinking i would love one of them since i hate having wires hanging all over the place and if i could get 4+ solid hours out of them that would be awesome. HP's site says you can get up to 9 hours with the 8 cell and 12 hours with the 12 cell but I'm not that naive. http://www.hp.com/sbso/solutions/pc_expertise/battery/batterylife-popup.html
