    As an option when you buy you can now order the 6214W with the 12 cell battery, I was wondering if there is any way of purchasing one seperatly as my notebook has already been ordered and I don't want to change that order and slow down its arrival even more ;).

    I guess this is a question for the Zepto staff but i think it might be of interest to others so am posting the question as a thread.

    That was one of the main reasons i chose to buy a zepto, the only really expencive options are the 2.13Ghz and 2.33Ghz processors which are plus £130 and £270 respectivly on top of the extreme edition's £700 start price.

    I will see how the 6 cell battery is for me before deciding whether or not I will actually need more than two and a half hours battery life. I'm guessing i will be near enough to a socket to nick a recharge ;)
