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.

Came here to say that, and also that I'm sure some vendor out there will offer a third-party solution that is user-installable. iFixit's teardown reveals that it is actually easier to replace the battery than the hard drive, with the latter officially user-replaceable according to Apple. Given that, I'd do it myself and save some downtime.

At first I was sad to see the replaceable battery go in the Macbook, but then I realized I haven't even replaced the original one from my Macbook I bought 3 years ago and I still get over 4 hours on it, so really not a biggie.
It's replaceable, just not user-replaceable. And it costs about the same as a new battery does anyway, so it's relatively moot.
