I bought an ASUS "whitebook" last year. It felt good not to pay for an OS I wasn't going to use. But, now I wonder if it was such a good idea. I can't seem to find an extra battery to buy anywhere. Is this a general laptop issue? or just something that happens when what one has was only purchased by a relatively small segment of the market? (this was my first laptop purchase, so I guess I'm a bit of a mobility newbie.) -Eric Rz.
