Battery Life in Vostro

[prescott28]

It seems that only a 6 cell battery is available for the Vostro and not the 9 cell that is available for the other laptops. This bothers me as it restricts running time away from power.

Could anyone say how long the Vostro lasts on battery power? I found a review that talked of less that 3 hours which wouldn't get me through some meetings.

Thanks

Well thanks for the responses, folks. I had rather hoped that we might be over 3 hours but it seems we cannot get a 9 cell battery for the Vostro so I think I'll look at other models to see if I can do better.
