    Hello,
    What's the difference in battery life between 4 cell and 6 or 7 cell battery, (i know 6 and 7 cells stick out :( )
    is it possible to buy a thinkpad r61 with 6 cell battery in it(i mean not with the 4 cell battery )? or not

    R61 , integrated graphics, cpu 7100
    i hope it will be more than 3 hours with 4 cell with wireless on, surfing on the net,
    and more than 5,5 hours with 6 cell.. is it possible ?

    i'll appreciate all replies...

    I used my R61 (integrated Intel graphics, T7100) for around 4 hours and I still had almost 30% left with average surfing (not wifi though), an hour of which I spent doing the speech recognition tutorial.

    This was with Vista and 512MB of memory, so if you have more memory, expect more battery time.
