A non-user-replaceable battery on a laptop.
Hmm...

It has to be a mistake. I mean no one would write - or post - a story about a major product with out mentioning it.
Right?

With 17 inches (sreen), there was enough room for numeric keys on the right. I don’t see them in the pictures. Maybe next time.

I’m a Macbook Pro user and fan and I’m not thrilled with the battery issue. What they could do to make that palatable, in my opinion, is offer to replace it for free once within the first three years, even if you don’t have AppleCare and even if it’s not entirely dead. They also better hope those puppies don’t have problems like some batteries have had in the past because they are no longer separated from the rest of the laptop by a separate case.
To: Swordmaker
-> 8 hour battery? I'll give it 6 tops (esp. with the 17 inch).

Only $2,799 (pre-order)

It’s a designed feature for iDiots.
To: Swordmaker
Can the user replace the batter - yes or no?

How do you add RAM to one of these? Or do you have to order the machine with all the RAM you’re going to need?
To: DevNet
“The left out the minor issue of it not having a user replaceable batter.”
That is what they said about the MBA but it is not true. It takes about six little screws and it unplugs and you can easily replace it.

Why would one have to add RAM? It does not run Windows.

Why not. Conventional wisdom is you cannot do it on an MBA. Why go with conventional wisdom on Pros. You should listen to Rush from time to time.

Why do the Mac threads attract so many jerks? Envy? Kind of like the FR-economy threads where the lowlifes attack people with money.
