I'm actually pretty sure I'm going to be around an outlet most of the time. If I really need to get the 12 cell battery can I buy it later? Yeah, you should be fine, I don't see anything else wrong with it. :thumbsup: Ah, Thank you :. I should add that I'm planning on keeping this laptop for a good 3-5 years. Would the laptop be good enough? EDIT: Also does anyone know if I'll be able to use the Asus Windows 7 Upgrade deal by buying the laptop off Newegg.com when the upgrade deal is active or will I have to buy it from Asus.com or something like that?
