And you would be WRONG, just like most of your other strawman arguments you made on this and other Apple/Mac/iPhone threads. Even a little research would demonstrate that to you... but you instead elect to tell us, who know, what you don't know. That, my friend, is willful ignorance.
If that is a personal attack, then live with it. It's a statement of fact.
The Battery replacement cost for a 2009 MacBook Pro is between $129 (13" and 15") and $179 (for the larger capacity 17" model). Here is the proof.
Region | Apple Price 17-inch |
Apple Price 15-inch and 13-inch |
United States | $179 pre taxes | $129 pre taxes |
Canada | CA$219 pre taxes | CA$159 pre taxes |
Europe | €179 inc. VAT | €139 inc. VAT |
Switzerland | CHF 279 inc VAT | CHF 199 inc VAT |
United Kingdom | £139 inc. VAT | £99 inc. VAT |
Japan | ¥19,800 inc. taxes | ¥15,800 inc. taxes |
Australia | A$299 inc GST | A$199 inc. vat |
China | 1498 RMB inc. vat | 1098 RMB inc. vat |
Would you care to retract your claims in this thread and the otherand apologize to the Mac users who have been trying to educate younow or later? I hear that craw can be tasty (taste's like chicken) if prepared properly.
I think you’re missing my point, I am saying you cannot buy a replacement Apple Li-Poly battery from Apple to replace it yourself, as they specifically state the Macbook will need to be brought to an Apple Store and have your laptop being held up all day at an Apple Store for them to replace. What if you don’t have time to schedule an appointment which it says you need to do? This is not the most convenient of situations, can we at least agree on this?
We’re also talking about the concern of leaving your data in the hands of some iGenius dude making $7 per hour... Not exactly the way I’d want to spend my day being paranoid over what that turtlenecked pro-Obama dweeb is doing with my computer.
