What Is A Cell? It's a battery
Though technically a battery has multiple cells, we are accustomed to calling a single energy cell a battery as well.

In electronics, a battery or voltaic cell is a combination of many electrochemical Galvanic cells of identical type to store chemical energy and to deliver it in the form of electricity. The battery cells combine to produce more energy (voltage or amps) than a cell by itself. When joined in this way, it is a battery of cells. Almost all portable electronics use one or more cells - rechargeable or disposable. The more cells, the more energy available - meaning more hours of use usually.

In Notebook computers, the battery case usually holds three or more cells. 3 Cell batteries tend to provide about 1-3 hours of use, depending on the energy needs of the Laptop. 6 cell (or more) batteries provide much more energy, and many more hours of use. This can be good or bad! More cells mean longer use, but more weight too!

So remember to always check for the number of cells if specified, and choose the right configuration for your use.

Battery Trivia: The invention of the first battery (known as a Voltaic pile) was in 1800 by Alessandro Volta! The first known usage of the battery (as we know it today) was in 1863 by the physician named Flora Bills.

Recovery Media

Most computer systems no longer include "Recovery Media" (Disks or CDs used to restore your computer system to it's factory shipped state). Many do not even include Operating System disks.

This is not specific to systems purchased from any one company, but now standard practice throughout the entire industry.

However, many manufacturers include software on the hard drive that creates recovery media for you. This allows burning your own set of recovery CDs or DVDs - all you need is the blank media.

Inclusion of such a recovery utility varies by manufacturer and model; not all manufactures and models include such a utility. For those that include such a utility we recommend you create your own set of recovery media after completing the Windows installation. In other words, right after you start using your PC!

If you fail to do this and encounter a difficulty in the future you may not be able to properly restore your computer.

Some manufacturers may have physical recovery media available separately for purchase; consult your owner’s manual support information section for additional information. Systems that do not come with a CD/DVD burner may still include Recovery Disks - please check the manufacturer's specs.

Everything I Wanted

I bought this laptop for college. The price was very good compared to the competition, quality of the machine is very good, it feels very solid, not flimsy at all. I have absolutely no complaints, I am VERY satisfied with my purchase. I suppose i wish it had an SD card slot but it isn't a biggie.

Great purchase!!

I could not be more happier with my first purchace of a laptop. Until now I've only had a desktop from a different company that I will not mention. This laptop totally blows it away! It is loaded with with features that most other companies would charge way more for the same. I may just become an ASUS fan for life!

Awesome Laptop-- Better Than I Expected

I bought this to replace my piece of junk Dell that I bought freshman year. I had heard good things about ASUS, but I was hesitant. Never again. I am a full convert to ASUS for Windows computers. Everything about this laptop is great-- the sound, colours, keyboard, touchpad. I have not found anything that I dislike.

Best Bang for your Bucks!!!!

I have a desktop from Asus thats now 2 years old, and have had NO problems with it. Buying this laptop was a no-brainer considering this has a second generation I5 processor and a blu-ray plus a 3.0 usb port along with two 2.0 usb ports. I connect my 42 inch tv through the HDMI port to complete my home theater experience. This laptop is noticeably faster then my desktop and ended up paying less then I did for my desktop, plus it came with blu-ray where my desktop did not. This laptop was everything I was looking for and the bonus was, I expected to pay between $700-775 for what I was looking for.
