    This is a great deal for people on the go who need extra juice for their laptops. I've never seen this low for a battery like this, Tekkeon charges $120 for this capacity at newegg. This works with my Sony ultraportables and Fujitsus but I don't think it will work with the IBM X60 series so compatibility varies.

    APC's compatibility list is pretty sparse so use these sites below and deduction to figure out if your unlisted laptop works:

    Compatibility with any unlisted laptop is YMMV of course.
