FWIW, MSI is supposed to start selling a 9-cell battery for Wind (there is
also a 3-cell version which I think is worthless) that supposedly gives you
up to 7 hours. That being said, take this with a grain of salt as the 6-cell
was supposed to last 5.5 hours according to online reviews but in Linux it
gets closer to 4. I haven't tried running any benchmarks but I suspect the
way you get 5.5 out of it is by turning everything off but the bare
essentials (e.g. no wifi, lowest brightness, etc.).
