Why would one need to replace the battery? Once it's dead, you recycle the MBA and buy a new one.

That's not the issue. You can't go on a road trip with a single 3hr battery. You need a spare and you need to be able to swap it out ASAP, not bring it in to an Apple Store. That's crazy.

iBook G3 466 SE

Original Price: US$1799
Yeah, and still a highly-sought after model, and which will still run nearly the latest version of the OS. I have my doubts about this latest model, though... not worth $1799 IMHO.

Damn, I guess the "Air" was the "one more thing".

[incognegro]

you travel with a charger? (just guessing)

[dotman]

there's no way someone would buy a laptop if they couldn't replace the battery. that's just silly. I will miss ethernet though.
