Clarification on 700m battery

[duke2421]

go to Cnet.com and watch the video review of the Dell 700m, there they clarify the battery weight and look issues. The battery they say actually sticks out even w/ the standard 6cell battery about a half inch, and w/ the extended battery life the battery will stick out about an inch. yeah definately a design flaw i'd say cause it just looks weird that the battery isn't flush w/ the rest of the laptop. And about the weight i'd think that the listed weight is w/ the 6 cell and any sort of bigger battery will add weight like any other notebook.

My 700m 8 cell battery sticks out 1.25 in. from the back and the entire notebook weighs in @ 4.95 lbs. However I am sending this unit back since it has some flaws, and I just bought a new Sentia notebook to replace it.
