I ordered one from Mwave and also noticed that the price jumped after they were sold out. The word on the street is that these 6-cell batteries really do make a substantial difference which is why I went with them when they had it in stock.
On another note, Mwave asks you to fax them a front/back copy of your credit card, drivers license and a written note stating that you ordered the laptop for 'theft prevention reasons,' which is insane. I yelled at the customer service agent and they were able to put it through without the hassle. I don't know if I will continue to do business with someone that uses 20th century measures to verify an order made in the 21st century.
I got tired of waiting, so i got an Asus Eee pc 1000H and love it, 6 cell battery, and wireless N (the wind doesn't come with wirelessN) And is being priced as much.
You can try this method to get it for $400.00 or so

$50 MORE? It should cost $50 total. This POS is not worth a penny more.
