    It's a sale available at my school's bookstore. Do you guys think it's a good deal for a T60? They're also having a sale on Macbook Pros for $1700. What do you think is a better buy? I'm a computer arts major and usually use 3ds max, blender, flash, photoshop, and illustrator.

    thanks you guys.

    9 cell is more heavy and sticks out the back of the notebook. It costs $30 more, but adds at least 1/3 battery life
