If you ship it in, expect a 3-4 week delay. Either way, it’s going to cost you $179 to get it done. Ouch.

Definitely expensive. Maybe very few guys will aford it, at least I will not especially in the hard recession. What about the replacement laptop batteries for apple, it is much cheaper.

Frankly, it’s not that outrageous a price, when you think about it.

The replacement batteries for a 15″ MBP and 13″ MB are both $129 from Apple. They are also much smaller batteries with correspondingly shorter battery lives. That the 17″ MBP is $50 more reflects both the additional size and capacity of the battery in terms of cost to manufacture as well as the installation service itself. Even if the battery was user-replaceable, I think it’s cost more simply due to its size.

I saw the same thing on a few blogs, like this one – http://www.tastemac.com/2009/01/179-for-macbook-pro-17-battery-replacement/ – last Wednesday.

You should break the story on the Pre next. :-P
