It's got a 9 cell battery now, which still offers a usable battery life of 
an hour to two hours depending on what you're doing with it.

It was a beast when purchased for my wife's business when she was starting 
out! It's also rather heavy and bulky. I'd say it's suitable for an older 
kid's play laptop or for using as a modest server (i.e. DNS,, SMTP, etc).

I've thrown Ubuntu 14 on it (64-bit) and verified everything works. Oh, and 
it's got a 111GB hard drive (actual capacity), so modest storage.
