$2499 for the most expensive Macbook Pro; $1199 for the least expensive.
I bought my Compaq for under $450 after rebates and promo codes in May of 2007. A replacement battery for mine will cost $130 from Compaq
So Compaq's battery costs the same amount as Apple's, despite the fact that the laptop is a lot cheaper. The Mac with a dead battery is a "boat anchor," but the Compaq that needs a new battery at 1/3 its purchase price isn't?
If a replacement Apple battery an OEM Apple replacement is actually only $119 I will be honestly impressed. Show me a link please.
Actually I am a little pissed my Compaq battery no longer charges. It seemed to happen a little over a year of use too. I was desperately hoping the latest battery recall from Compaq listed the battery in my laptop but it didn’t. Still pissed though at Compaq, so please don’t call me a Bill Gates lover or Compaq or PC fanboy.
