kaikkk01 said:Really!? I was plan to get 8 cell... anyone has picture of the 8 cell battery?. Dell does. Honestly, get the 8-cell for the 700m and live with it. The 4-cell goes for a little over an hour when I use it. I like the screen at max brightness, the drives spinning and the cpu cooking.

. OP, where did you find out about this? Even though the page is on their site, there is no link to it on their site.

. you are so ### about the 700m battery; must I prove you wrong in public?

estergon said:You are so wrong! I have 8-cell battery, and my friend has the standard one, and they both are exactly the same size. Only difference is 8 cell lasts longer! But 700M's has a really bad battery compartment design, it makes computer larger. Anyways, for this computer, 8-cell battery doesn't change appearance or size, but provides a better battery life.

Um, I dont think so. You must have got jipped.

The deal is way worse than the 700 off 1699 last friday in Dell SB.

This was for ~700 b4 tax AR, with upgraded screen and dvd-+RW + 3 years service and a 9-cell spare baterry, with the potential of making another 80 from baterry on eBay, geting an extra 70 from the adverticed discounted baterry (see the thread) and sell back the 3 year warranty to Dell (cost was 384!)

So you do the math

homie; not everyone wants a 6000. do the math.

no.......................again...........why .......

are you thinking of the sony vaio x505? pretty sweet looking machine. little out of my price range however....

back to the subject of the post though...thanks OP. may actually have to wake up to pull the trigger this time.

I would have just thought, oh maybe they are trying to get some of the market that the apple ibook 12" are getting.

It's not 13", but Dell already has 2.5lbs notebook (external CD) with 12" screen.

I also saw very thin sony vaio line, but can't find it anymore

The IBM X series is under 3 lbs for some configurations with up to 10 hours battery life and a full size keyboard to boot. Makes the 700m look like a turd.

I think the only possibility for the OP to get the information is that the OP is the employee of D3ll, which is the main sponsor of Fatwa11et. Wanna bet?

PoBoi said:This deal is about $100 better in options than the October 750 off.

I have a 700m from the last deal. I want a 6000 now. Next time I'll get the 9300. Then I can have the whole collection. Should be worth more as a complete collection which I'll sell on fleabay to all those chumps who buy from illegitimate resellers. =D

What are you talking about? October deal last year? It's like 7 months ago and computers can depreciate values a lot in 7 months.
