Quick question about the battery: Does it protrude from the bottom of the V131?

@eranmes The 6-Cell battery does indeed protrude from the bottom of the V131. (about 1/2 inch)

I am planning to purchase my Vostro V131, but do you recommend buying from ebay? Where did you purchase your Vostro V131?

@Minishglob I purchased mine directly from Dell. I’ve sold notebooks on eBay before, but never purchased one. As with any purchases on eBay, check their return policy, notebook condition (if used), etc. Maybe Google best practices for purchasing notebooks on eBay. That’s what I would do! Good luck!

@ryanbane Thanks for the few pointers. I will probably give amazon a try also. I have no experience from amazon, but sometimes I feel it’s safer to purchase a notebook from them. Btw I live on US Protectorates, so Dell will not ship to my location.
