yeah, how long will it remain 8-hours?
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

So, why does Apple think it is a good concept to have a non-removable battery? Does anyone have information about this?
I'm a pretty serious power user, I've owned easily a dozen Mac Laptops, from the 145b up to my current. I have only had spare batteries on the very earliest models. On the past half a dozen machines I've never removed the battery. I suspect that my behavior is close to the norm for most users. The removable battery seems like a nice thing, but most people never ever use it.

Also, those bastards want me to pay an additional $50 for a matte display. Either way I'll probably be preordering shortly.

I foresee a gizmo that has a maglock connection, and a rechargeable battery brick to it.

I assume that doesn't apply to what one has already purchased, or does it?

I would say that 90% of the times I've removed the battery from my laptops it's been to crash it when it's frozen or otherwise fucked. I understand that that's not such an issue for the Mac users among us. But never?

brenda, holding down the power button on a laptop for about 5-10 seconds kills the power completely, so you shouldn't need to take the battery out. Of course, I'm open to corrections.
megan, nah. Apparently for a small charge you can redownload the songs with DRM removed.

I've had my current iBook for 9 years now, and I don't think I've ever taken the battery out. The computer's getting a tad wonky now, but after 9 years of steady use and abuse I'm amazed it still turns on.

I'm with Brenda - sometimes the power button does not work and I've had to pull out the battery.
