SZ: 2 Questions: Battery + RAM.

here they are.
1) Does the Large battery LOOK any different when placed into the SZ. As in, does it protrude out more than the standard. I know it weighs much more, but visual-wise?

2) If i were to purchase extra RAM for a 3-party vendor, such as newegg.com, for my SZ-to-be (dont have it just yet), how would i go about installing it. Would i have to give it to someone? How expensive would it be. I think what im ultimatly going to as is weather is is dangerous or not and worth the money/risk?

Please and Thank You!!

Yes the SZ looks very different with extended battery. IMO it hurts the aesthetic appeal of the machine greatly. ButI guess you can't have it all

 

I can live with the extended battery. it raises the laptop for better cooling and keyboard angle. BUT it does make it harder to cary and put into a bag. But I like it because the normal battery would last under 2hrs for me. The ext battery is lasting well over 3-4 hours for me.

As for the ram, its simple to put in. two screws to remove cover and its a snap in. but follow instructions. For me it was easy. for you it may not be.
