Unfortunately, I don’t think local PC stores sell the 6-cell battery separately. As was the case with the EeePC for quite sometime when it first debuted, a 6-cell battery option wasn’t readily available. With new netbooks these days, it’s even worse. Most of the time, you need to buy it as part of a more expensive model.

i just bought an MSI Wind notebook. i was surprised about how lightweight this gadget is. the features are pretty basic for a netbook but it is sufficient for my application.
