You don’t get it. I COULD replace my battery though if I were inclined but I refuse to pay $130 for a battery for a laptop that cost me under $450. If I were an owner of a Macbook Pro, I wouldn’t have that option even. THAT’S what bothers me.
Ever considered just not buying one, rather than b*tching loudly and longly about it on internet forums?
Let’s face it, you’re just cheap!
I don't understand that. I have a MacBook Pro in my lap now, and the battery comes out if I open the bottom. Are they impossible to buy?
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.

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.
