            Does the subwoofer on your battery give you advance warning of power drain? Or is it just that your battery likes to brag also? :confused:

                                    I know this was probably in jest, but the subwoofer is not a part of the battery.

                                      Those pesky Web sites! I looked on Dell's site for the Inspiron being talked about and it listed the battery in one section, and the subwoofer in another. I just assumed it was a type-o on the OP's part. Oh well... [edit] Here is a detailed picture: http://docs.us.dell.com/docs/systems/insxps/sm/woofer.htm#1006368 [/edit]

                                        Damn that sounds grand. How much did it cost? I am finally sucumbing to getting a personal machine and am torn between a laptop or a desktop. So any and all options are welcome. What is the battery life like BTW? regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Chris Maunder wrote: "I'd rather cover myself in honey and lie on an ant's nest than commit myself to it publicly."

                                        $2,900 The battery life is not the best from what I've seen posted on some review sites. I do not need battery only power very often though. I just need the portability.
