Re point 1: no, what several on this thread are laughing at you about (yes, at, not with) is getting wildly bent out of shape about battery replacability yet admitting you haven’t replaced a dead battery on your own laptop. If you won’t swap out an easily-replaced battery yourself when warranted, don’t get bent into a pretzel when doing it on a MacBook takes a few hours while shopping.

Like I said myself I am pissed myself that Compaq charges $130 for a freaking battery. THAT is unacceptable. You are trying to paint me as a troll but I am equally pissed that any company is charging THAT much for replacement batteries.

Once I buy a new Windows 7 laptop I will probably and only then try my hand at replacing the individual cells within the Li-Ion pack myself and the cost will probably be under $20.
