9-cell battery

This is one of the best pieces of advice yet.

I've had my 9300 for just over a week and am loving that I upgraded to the 9-cell. I get over 4 hours of juice before having to think about plugging in.

COmpared to the ~1.5-2 hrs I was getting on my old notebook, I'm in heaven.

depends on which value code you're using to order the 9300.

i have had the 9300 in my cart with wuxga (1900x1200).

some value codes do not offer wuxga as an option. i have no idea why.

just like some value codes offer the ati graphics as an option, and others only have 1 option of the el cheapo Intel 900 graphics.

nope, but uxga is 1600x1200 and is still good for 4tabling w/o overlap!

wuxga is 1900x1200.

My Inspiron 9300 arrived 3 days ago. I got the 17" uxga, I can see 4 Pstars tables with no overlap, + about 2" to spare on the sides. The highest resolution available is 1920 x 1200 and it looks GREAT! The display is crystal clear. I use GT+ and can see everything just fine, multitabling 4 tables. The only additional upgrades I got was to 512MB ram and 80g hard drive. I payed about $1400 total, it arrived within a week... best laptop I've ever purchased by far, and this is my 3rd Dell [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Is there really that big of a noticable difference between the
1.7 and 1.8 processor? Also is the processor easily upgradeable down the road? Just wondering cause I got the smalest processor they offered, the 1.6.
