No, its one of the big, clunky old Dell Latitudes that was pretty pricey when it was new.

I found some that were cheaper than the $79 or $99 I don't want to spend, would it be ok to buy the $33 or the $45 ones or would they fry my computer?

Also I have it sitting on some old cassette cases I got at a thrift store and have a book about the same height that might cover the hole, would that be ok or would the paper get hot? I could put a piece of glass on it or something. If nothing else i would like to do that until I get the battery so I don't fry something.

I really don't want to spend anything on it if I can avoid it but could go the cheaper batteries.

Battery is located in front on the right and its large, its one with an arm.

Thanks
