Has anyone done their own iPod battery replacement? It seems much cheaper to get a kit online than go to the Apple store.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, on an older, plastic-body iPod. I had to pry it apart but the battery kit included a special tool to do this, so it was pretty easy.
Don't know how hard it is to replace the battery on a modern iPod, or other iPod models like the Touch.
The place I bought my kit from (don't remember the name) had how-to videos. I'd recommend finding a video for your iPod model and seeing how hard it would be.

My iPod is 5th generation, just over 5 years old.

This might be the company I ordered from: [link]
If you click on your model there's a video of the installation you can watch.

It's also easy for me to got to the Apple store, but that's the site that got me thinking I might do it myself. Of course, it might just be my first digital download from the library that's causing the battery-dying problem, I'll test tonight.

So I'm teaming up with my folks to get my niece a new laptop for her college graduation gift. She's going to Spain for the next year, so I think a smaller laptop would be best. I was looking at something in the $600 range, like one of the larger netbooks maybe. I don't think she needs anything high-powered, she's not going to be gaming, but she will want to run Skype and stream video and so forth, as well as email and probably do grad-school applications on it.
Anyone have any recommendations? Any particular issues I should be aware of? She mentioned wanting a dual-core processor so she would be able to stream video.
