    Okay, here we go.

    1. What is the battery life like on the IFL90?

    2. What varieties of battery are there, and how much do they cost?

    3. How difficult is it to acquire batteries for the IFL90?

    The battery life is fairly decent, on power conservative settings and use, such as low brightness, Wi-Fi and gaming, you can easily get three hours on note typing. There are 9-cell and 6-cell variations of the IFL-90 battery; the latter does not stick out on the laptop, but I find that the 9-cell battery life is worth the battery sticking out about 3/4". The batteries can be bought from resellers such as Powernotebooks.com or XoticPC, or from Sager themselves.

    It helps to do some research on your own; much of your questions have been answered in the past and some searching would do you a lot of good, especially considering the many questions you have regarding the laptop as demonstrated by your earlier topic. ;)

    I'm just trying to get a pool of answers for some questions, since a lot of things involving reviews are left to opinion. So far I've gotten that the Sager 2090 battery can get 2.5-3.5 hours, that while the case looks flimsy, it's more durable and sturdy than it appears, that it will heat up a lot when it's being used for CPU/graphics applications but will still remain usable. Mainly my only concerns now are how the touchpad and keyboard function as compared to other brands.
