More MacBook Pro




I'm actually really excited about the changes they've made to the battery. I need to go back and find out exactly what the capacity is, but having a 1000-cycle expected life instead of the previous 300-cycle is a huge improvement. Also, having 7-8 hours of life instead of the previous 4-5 really means each cycle is worth a lot more. Not to mention the convenience of being able to work away from an outlet for three more hours than before. The solid bottom panel to this laptop just adds to the sleek look and feel, unlike most PCs where the bottom is a mishmash of panels, vents, screws, and stickers. I'm sure it is also contributing to the solid feel, which is unlike any 17" laptop I've ever encountered. It is impressive.
