[NTLUG:Discuss] About that Elitebook 2530p....

[David Simmons]

Maybe I missed the intent of the original message....thought I remember it

only 1-2'....but, like you said, there are exceptions all around.
Basically, if battery life is your 'beef', then make sure you get a 6-cell
and be done with it?
