Battery Life on the 3 Cell vs 6 Cell

[zebek]

Hi everyone,

considering purchasing one of these units, and thinking about the MAC OSX or XP or Ultra Lite Vista install.......and I am wondering with Wireless On what I can expect out of my battery life in both 6 cell or 3 cell versions...going to be one of the 80gb or 120gb versions......

Also, how hard realistically is the RAM/Wireless card upgrade.....I have been a PC tinkerer for year, but not much experience breaking laptops...lol

I tried searching but couln't find much other than just I did xxx, I did xxx...
Want a real world perspective....

Thanks
dave

Using vista on mine, took around 3,5GB fresh. Runs for around 2 hours, maybe less (not using a very power-conservative plan).

Installing RAM isn't too hard, with your experience it shouldn't be a problem. I've never worked inside a laptop before and the only problem I had was that I tried puching the RAM straight in, while it seems like it's supposed to go in at an angle and then be "bent" down (unlike on a stationary).

Check out tnkgrl's videos (Google for them). They show quite well how to take the One apart.

Sorry for a stupid question:

I have a Acer Aspire One 110L and want to buy the 6 cell battery
ACER LC.BTP00.018
Can be used this battery with the AAO 110L?
