Guys, I'm using a old macbook (2007) and i plan to get a macbook pro, but i realise now a macbook have non-removable batteries. I use my macbook like a desktop and i rarely use my battery on my mac.
I need advice on the impact of non-removable batteries... Thx!!

QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ Nov 15 2010, 09:34 AM) what impact? juz use as normal. even for ur macbook, u never need to take out the battery what  juz remember to calibrate at least once a month. or better yet, why not juz get an imac? Thx for the info, cos im jus worried that i need to change my battery quite often, cos i do torrent, but also will carry my macbook around when im doing project. so i only put in my battery when im taking out, if not i just take off the battery so the battery have longer life span. I looked up on apple website, they said can charge 1000 times, so if the battery is non removable.... 2 and half year need to go change?

QUOTE(xaw5126 @ Nov 15 2010, 01:58 PM) @terrytay2009 Mac batteries cannot be removed anymore. so that's one thing, the other thing is that when fully charged, a Mac runs off the adapter, not the battery. so don't worry about running it down. Yes, you should remove the charger and 'exercise' it at least once a month. when fully charged, a Mac runs off the adapter, not the battery. so don't worry about running it down. Thts really good info! Thx alot

QUOTE(honoreric @ Nov 15 2010, 08:57 PM) How do we use facetime on Macbook pro? is there a special program for it? Just download Facetime Beta from apple website. I'm sure u know how to find it. It works quite well, except the fan is quite loud, hope they can reduce the noise when running facetime on mac.
