    Just to let you know I received this today. The design is a little awkward, if you open the laptop too wide it tends to flip back; the weight could have been better distributed. On the other hand the unit provides over 4 hours life at normal settings, and is a bargain for the price. Would recommend this to anybody who has a Wind/Advent and needs more power.

    Got mine about a week ago, and can confirm all of the above, 4+ hours battery life and unfortunately the same balancing issues. But given the price and extended battery it's definitely a good buy. Thanks for the heads up Offalycool, much appreciated.
