    Simple question that I couldn't find an answer to: Does the Compal IFL-90 from XoticPC come with a 6-cell or 9-cell battery? Their dropdown menu says "6-cell STANDARD WITH WXGA AND WXGA+" "9-cell STANDARD WITH WSXGA" but both are selectable... I want to purchase it with WXGA+, so will it come with a 9-cell if I select it as such?

    Call Justin to be sure, but I don't think so. I think the WXGA+ ships with the 6-cell standard and you have to purchase the 9-cell separatly.

    If you order the Sager it comes standard with 9cell(according to Xotic) they only have an option for a 9 or 6 cell spare battery, and the 9 comes standard with both screens...

    If you get the WSXGA its 9 cell standard. The other screens come with 6 cells.
