    9 cell battery does it really get 7 hrs of battery life?

    Can anyone here who bought a SX and a 9 Cell battery tell me the battery life they actually got?

    Yes; actually under battery saving mode in PowerGear with Wifi & BT off we have seen Battery Eater tests achieve more than 8 hours with a T2400 processor.

    How are the screens on SX clarity wise? Is the trioview really good?

    Excellent displays little to no light leakage, very even colors and deep contrast. Unless your needing to use machine under direct sunlight the trioview mod may not be necessary for you.

    My real-life battery time with the 9-cell on my SX has been just under 6 hours. That's with wifi on, BT off, screen at 40%, word processing, web surfing and no optical drive use.

    The screen is great! :)

    What would be the battery life with 100% brightness on a 6 cell battery?

    Is the Expresscard slot 34 or 54 mm?
