being excited as I am, I was reading up on reviews of the T43 and was wondering, since my T43 comes with a 9 cell battery, does that mean it's gonna stick out the back by default and that I'll have to buy a normal 6 cell battery if I wanna make it smaller?

it is exactly the case

But honestly, it does not bother me at all...

Stalin is right...its not that big a deal.....the only problem is if you order a sleeve for it like I did frm Waterfield you will need to get the 17 instead of the 15.....

Nice, and how's the flexview screen guys? Is it a nice step up from the 14" SXGA+ screen?

And do you know if with the recovery software that comes on the hard drive you can burn your own recovery cds? Reason I ask is that as soon as I get it I have a 7200rpm HD that I wanna put in there, and I want to be able to set up the recovery partition on that one. Am I gonna have to get separate recovery CDs from tech support?

I burned my to dvd....it took 2 discs....I think one was the boot and the other was the software.....I have not tried it....but I assume the discs will work if I need them. I tried to get IBM to send me a set of discs and they wanted to charge 45 bucks for a set......

Yes, you can use the recovery CD's that you burn to bring a new hard drive to original factory install condition, including the recovery partition. Just don't mess with partitioning or formating the hard drive first. Let the recovery CD's do that.

Note: You can only burn one copy of the recovery CD's. The software will not let you make any more copies.
