    I picked up this brilliant little laptop yesterday. My other laptop is a behemoth Gateway FX 7805u and I swear this tiny Vaio is nearly as powerful.
    I tested Dragon Age and NWN2 on it and it can keep up just fine.

    Anyway, I did my first gaming run on the train today which worked out great.
    I wanted to pick up a spare battery but I can't find one anywhere??? Is the laptop too new or???

    thanks for any advice.

    The battery is installed under the case. Your best bet is to get the slice battery as it adds a lot of life.

    Wait I think I get it. The whole "slice battery" tray (VGP-BPSC24) is a battery that plugs into the laptop from the bottom?

    That is it. It's like $150.
