If it runs the computer about 50% longer per charge than a removable battery
allows and the battery has a longer useful life then the only question I have is
what happens when the battery reaches the end of it's useful life some years
down the road?
In other words: is this non-removable battery replaceable by Apple factory techs
or does the Macbook pro become a power-tethered system only?
