    Hi. Does anyone have the Z60M with a 6-cell battery or a Z60T with a 4-cell battery? The 9-cell in my M-model wobbles a bit more than I'm comfortable with, and, bacause it sticks out of the back of the computer, I don't feel comfortable carrying it in a backpack. I'm wondering if the 6-cell battery does the same. For those with the 6-cell, do you have any idea how many hours you can pull out of it?

    Thanks,
    Howie

    I have a z60t w/ both a 4-celll and a 7-cell. Yes, I've noticed the same "wobble" with the 7-cell, but not w/ the 4-cell. As for hours, can't help you since you have an "m".

    Yes,

    7 cell has a slight wobble - not an issue for me.
    Got 3hr 12 min from 7 cell.

    Read in a review that the 4 cell lasted about 2 hr.

    Would 4/7 X 3.2hr. = 1.82 hr. be correct??

    I also meant to askwhether the 6-cell sticks out of the back at of the computer at all. I realize it wouldn't protrude as much as the 9-cell, but I'm wondering if it's actually flush with it.

    Thanks,
    Howie
