    Do you mind if I ask what you paid for that top-o-the-line setup?

    I think he just copied and pasted from the eBay ad. > 6 hours of battery life is false advertising on the part of the eBay seller.

    No, I don't...just copied and pasted from the ad on ebay. I knew what I was getting and wasn't expecting >6 hrs.

    For the person that asked...I paid $2169 for it which was exactly (actually $10 less) what the Lenovo website wanted for the system configured the same way.
