    Just wondering which was most popular


    you can find out very easily by hitting FN+F3 then click manage settings on the bottom.

    once you enter the power manager, you click the "battery information" tab and then click the little arrow next to "battery details"

    My x60s comes with Sony 8-cell, I've had it for almost 2 months now and >40 charge cycles, but the capacity remains unchanged at 74.88Whr. Doesn't seem right to me.

    So is there a correlation between brand and the lock-ups while on battery power? If so what brand is the culprit?
