It has a 9 cell I think.

[Hauskaz]

It's a standard 6 cell battery for ThinkPads and IdeaPads if I remember from my presentation research. Even a 6 cell battery goes 3-5 hours on most ThinkPad models, which is probably long enough to get through classes. I generally end the day with a 50% charge on my battery.

Of course, you could always get an UltraBay battery or an additional 9 cell main battery and enter the fun world of battery swapping.

[hellomeow]

Hmm, yeah the review I read just said the 9-cell was an extension you could get. I will buy one probably.

*wishes there was a decent 9-cell for the Satellite*

*changes mind about buying 9-cell, considers Tyler to be an asshole*

[Daryl]

My 6-cell lasts for 2 hours and 25 minutes on average.

[Hauskaz]

That Toshiba 9 cell battery would be 64.8 Wh, whereas my 9 cell is 77.76 Wh by design (74.58 Wh in its current condition). Seeing as the standard T61p battery is 56.16 Wh, that Toshiba 9 cell is pretty decent; it would definitely be a step up from your current 43.2 Wh battery. All this battery shit is expensive as fuck though, so I'm pretty glad that guy gave me a practically new $200 battery for the $300 I paid in total. rofl

This battery shit's interesting. Time to make a table.

Computer	6 cell	9 cell	UltraBay
Dell Inspiron 6000	53 Wh	80 Wh
Dell Inspiron E1505	53 Wh	85 Wh
IBM ThinkPad T42	51.84 Wh	77.76 Wh	16.2 Wh
IBM ThinkPad T61p	56.16 Wh	84.24 Wh	29.16 Wh
Toshiba Satellite A210	43.2 Wh	64.8 Wh

Hm, Toshiba seems to really absorb cock with batteries, although T4x batteries fall behind the newer designs. Then again, John's T400 battery sticks out an awful lot more than mine does, so I assume the T6x ones do as well. Of course, the efficiency of the machine itself has a large impact on how long these batteries actually go.

jesus this is hot

and here i thought it'd be like 7000 dollars (that's your guy's problem)

Table modified.

fuck the universities are being gay right now...
If any of you have learning disabilities(my writing counts as one) , good luck filling out All the fucking paperwork for it. For each university no less. I' have by the end of this week to do it or i'll have to do it when i get to campus

Update:

1. University of Waterloo - Mathematical Physics Co-op[/b][/url] - Applied, paid, response.

2. University of Waterloo - Computer Sciences Co-op[/b][/url] - Applied, paid, response.

3. University of Ontario Institute of Technology - Computing Sciences - Accepted

3. Brock University - Neurology Co-op[/b][/url] - Accepted

I'm giving Brock serious consideration as a possible option for University given that Neurology is such a niche field, if I do become a specialist in it I will be one of the few in the world and get to work on a subject that's been fascinating to me for years. I'll give Brock and UOIT campus a visit to see which one I'd rather go to, and base my decision on which I'd prefer on that. That being said Waterloo is still easily the one I would rather go to.

[elbow unit]

nice man, but remeber...
"If you absorb cock, go to Brock"

[hellomeow]

rofl, yeah I didn't really have any doubt that I would get in. It might have been better to go into a general medical science field at McMaster's or something and then get into a neurology graduate program. Both of the unis I have gotten into so far aren't that great, rofl.

Michael This shit is for you

[hellomeow]

Oh god rofl already aware of that contest. After reading three of Ayn Rand's books, I've grown to completely hate her. I would be bullshitting so much if I actually wrote that essay while supporting her novels. Just read this.

Also I went to UOIT today, FUCK Brock. UOIT was amazing, everything was new, the professors were cool, the residence was roomy and gives you a private room, everyone there was nice, the equipment was brand new, they have some of the best energy physics programs there available and they do all the labs with detailed analysis through the laptop. And they gave me a shirt, pizza, coke, and free pens, free tours of campus and free parking too. They are so cool at UOIT, and the university is BROWN as fuck. Half the school is brown, it's just like Brampton except without the retarded people.

rofl
Fuck yourk looks most likely at this point; close, spacious, and the English department isn't gay
still on the fence on residence though
...plus , UOIT may be brown, but York Asian beyond anything. it'll be like a fucking h-game

rofl I'm well aware of how god damn asian York is. I don't think I'd even consider going there because they seem to be more focused on liberal arts/languages and things like that. I just feel safer surround by a lot of brown people basically, not to mention most of the faculty are Indian and Russian immigrants, at least in the physics department seemingly. There was this one guy who I met there who was a physics professor, HE WAS SO RUSSIAN. He gave me his business card, his name was Anatoli Chkrebtii, Lempka's older cousin or something. The head of the physics department there is some brown guy named Rupinder Brar, I would say at least 1/3 of all the people I saw there were brown, a good other portion was asian. Virtually no blacks, a fair deal of whites and some hispanic people.
