[QUOTE="RJesus, post: 6679784, member: 614865"] The 'adaptive technology' seems pretty nice. However, I strongly doubt their figures. Laptops get quite hot. Heat is the main entity that damages a batteries life. It is far more damaging than simple recharges. In an effort to dwarf the standard figures, I'd bet apple neglected to warrant a standard testing temperature. I don't have any of the new macbooks, but my friend's macbook pro runs quite hot. Theres even a legal brief at the bottom of the page disclaiming their statements accuracy concerning battery life. There are laptops available with permanent batteries. However, I wouldn't buy one. They have more heat issues, (which means a shorter life), and they're not as easily replaced. You can't disconnect the battery in order to use the laptop plugged in. You can't upgrade the battery either. If you take a look at hp's website and customize a laptop, you'll see options for various different battery sizes. You have a choice if you'd like one that has a higher capacity (heavier) or ones with lower capacities (lighter). EDIT: the new site design automatically inserts ads on website addresses? [/QUOTE]
