    the large capacity battery weighs almost twice as much as the standard battery, and is also almost twice as large. With the large battery the laptop becomes a little unbalanced with most of the weight at the back, not really a problem if using it at a desk though.

    since it is bigger does it extends towards the back or downwards ?
    also does it angles the lap on the back upwards ?
