    I received my Sager 5791 today and I'm loving it already. This is my first laptop and i've heard keeping the battery out when not in use is recommended to prolong its life. Now the first thing I noticed after removing this modules square-ish battery pack is that one of its main leg grippers was on it! Now when I place my notebook without the battery inserted, it wobbles like sitting on a chair with uneven legs. So do all you 5791 folk leave the battery in even when its 100% charged? Or is there anyway around this? Thanks!

    if you use a good notebook cooler (like Zalman ZM-NC1000), the fan noise will be almost nullified due to them rarely ever coming out since the cooler is keeping the temps down.

    the notebook wont slip off, the rubber thin pad on the cooler will prevent the footing to slip down.

    I have a friend that use both a Zalman and a notebook stand at the same time, surprising to works great for him... cool temps and nice tilt elevation
