                  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....

                                                                          That would solve that problem....
