I'm a little upset because i ordered a laptop with a dell 1691P battery , but I found out it sticks out the back. I wanted to cancel my order, but apparently dell already shipped it. I'm paying extra for dell 75UYF battery life that I don't really even need, since I will be using a plug a lot. But the thing is...I bought it on sale, so I'm not paying too much extra for it. So....I'm just concerned about it's usability and durability. Do you have to be all careful about how you set it down while it's in its case? Like, you wouldn't want to put the back (with the dell 8N544 battery) face down in the case because then it'd have the weight of the entire laptop on it. So, do you find the laptop battery to be an annoyance? Do you have to be more careful with it? I guess it isn't a big deal if it is durable and really is connected, but...yeah...I want to know what you guys think.
