          28 ounces, not bad at all. I thought it would be a lot more.

            what is the difference? are laptops from the uk on different voltage? like if I bought a laptop for us in the uk, i would not be able to plug in into an external battery?

            i thought it was just the voltage in the wall that needed to be converted for a us laptop, not the actual laptop

            forgive my ignorance, i have never really needed to know...now my curiosity is peaked

                Im not sure to be honest.... Other stuff has problems I know

                Looking at it again they wont ship to the UK, and I assumed that was because of the power compatability issues.... but they do deliver to NZ which is the same system as the UK

                I think I will need to email them to find out for sure

                  yeah, i would get a straight answer from them and see what the deal is..cause valence has been around for years and years and if anyone knows wtf with extended batteries it is them

                  I have one for my laptop, and it is rockin...

                        There are several notebooks on the market now with 8-11 hrs. My IBM Thinkpad runs 6 hrs with its standard battery.

                            so, anything without a 10 hour battery is junk? wow, pretty high standards

                            and I don't have a dell, i was just using it as a point of reference...i actually think dells are horrible too, bad comparison

                              The point of having long battery life is to use it on the road, and to be able to use the notebook on your knees, or on a small cafe table, or on the plane. Notice how the girl in the ad sits at a friggin office desk? She could just plug the notebook into the plug socket. You don't want to carry that thing with you AND have to try placing it somewhere (probably near the notebook as well since the cable is prolly not that long)

                                It would easily fit in the Laptop case and it actually charges the laptops own battery as well..... Its used more like an external power sourse than a replaement battery

                                That would solve that problem....

                                  leave it in the laptop case or under the laptop...not hard to figure out

                                  the vcharge is pretty small too....don't quite understand your logic

                                    and the cables for it are about 5 feet, and you can get a longer one if you want

                                      It might make sense for old non-centrino/pentium-m notebooks but in that case I'd rather buy a new notebook for $1000 with 5-6 hrs battery life, it's much more convenient and ergonomic

                                        O.k. I just saw it's $279 so it COULD indeed make sense if you are satisfied with your current notebook but it has a shitty battery life like 1-2 hrs

                                        But the question is will it run a non-pentium-M notebook up to 10 hrs, or only Pentium-M notebooks. Meaning it might give you only another 1-2 hours if you have a regular Pentium notebook

                                              a standard laptop battery looses half its battery life in one year and is usually needing replacement within 2 years...this is just a nice alternative

                                              so wait, you would rather buy a NEW notebook, then have a 1-2 pound attachment piece that fits and never leaves your notebook bag? LOL...wow, you have GREAT financial sense

                                                But the question is will it run a non-pentium-M notebook up to 10 hrs, or only Pentium-M notebooks. Meaning it might give you only another 1-2 hours if you have a regular Pentium notebook
                                                ah, ok

                                                what is the difference between pentium m and non pentium m?

                                                sorry, i have no clue about pentium anymore, i am an athlon guy

                                                  i thought it was just the voltage in the wall that needed to be converted for a us laptop, not the actual laptop

                                                  forgive my ignorance, i have never really needed to know...now my curiosity is peaked
                                                  The external battery has its own charger, which means it has a local mains plug...
