only on the 17" model

8 hours charge time

a good rule of thumb is to always subtract 1 hour battery capacity per each month owned

You'd think with all this advanced technology we'd have awesome batteries but we don't. I'm so happy my new laptop doesnt require the battery be plugged in for it to function.

I'm gonna go throw dog shit on apples windows be back in 30

Wasn't there that tech where laptop batteries would be hydrogen fueled? Is that still in the pipeline or was it just a useless pipedream?

Quote from: USA Today
CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA 2/26/2009 - in the heart of "silicon valley" today apple employees everywhere stopped fiddling with their iphones between pops of dexedrine and taking bumps off of glossy screened monitors and instead used their formerly barren & pristine IKEA desks for grinding condensed graphite onto thin slices of microscopically textured wood. laundromats surrounding the area have reportedly been overrun with thousands of american apparell v neck t-shirts and black chino turtlenecks with sweat ridden collars. it is unclear whether this epedemic is due to the strain of opening up lawsuits from burn victims or if mental exertion is to blame - Associated Press, Toomene Adjectivesironica McWordyski

Fuelcells are still on their way, its just a matter of how long now do we have to wait.

im also on my second battery, about to be on my third, this new advert bragging about how awesome their batteries are kinda pisses me off

also my current battery is basically on its deathbed, istat says its health is @ 29% and it wont fully charge, also it averages about 20 mins unplugged. lol.

Actually, Sony made the batteries that did that. Shocking.

thats actually a pretty big deal if youre familiar with mbps

the steel on the "old" model is kind of bendy & too flexible

i could grip it on both side and bend it into a V if i wanted

patrickula · « **Reply #18 on:** February 26, 2009, 11:15:35 PM »

I'm not saying it isn't cool or functional.
It's just not all that energy/resource efficient.

I used to assume that lawsuits about overheated batteries were frivolous. But seriously, if something like the above pics happened while it was cradled on my junk, I'd be out for vengeance too.
