As expected, Apple has refreshed its entire consumer line of Macintosh computers. The Mac mini, the MacBook, and the iMac lines of computers have all been overhauled, with the MacBook even getting a complete redesign. Prices in Europe have been dropped slightly, and there's a new mouse, too.

Begs the question though: If they do replace it in store while you wait, why are they trying to prevent us from just buying the darn batteries and replacing them ourselves? It doesn't make sense especially in a laptop. Plus, what about the people who like to have spare batteries available when they need them? Why all this battery replacement voids the warranty business if it's that easy to do for the Apple store? Are they just trying to force us to pay service and labor charges? "
The charge to replace a battery on a MacBook including labor and the battery itself is the same or less than it is to buy a battery from other companies.
If you need additional power, buy an external like this.

Look, I can understand if people don't like the concept. If it bothers you that much, don't buy it. Simple. Windows 7 and Ubuntu are both fantastic alternatives.
