great :( can i get a new battery from somewhere? i mean does this machine
have a special "notebook battery" or can i put a normal PC battery in
it?
i have not really looked inside it yet and this is my first notebook ever
(or laptop?). i bought it used and it's 3 years old. i have been using it
for half a year.
