Luckily for any starbucks junkies with mac, the battery can last very long unless anyone plan to stay there for breakfast till closing

I got those static shock few times in first few months then its all gone now. Can't recall where or which socket I used to though back then.

Actually specifically for MBP IMO. Read up on electric conductor.

Got 2 mbp 2 3gs and 2 iphone4. One of the mbp travelled to all remote places in africa for few years and i have it naked. None of the product give me any problem whatsoever except that i just took normal care of it. No pampering just a normal care for any product would do. My advice is that if you feel you are a bit clumsy/living on the edge/bring the laptop to all dangerous place like construction site etc, then just have it wrapped with something. Might not look as nice as naked but gonna save you from next heartache
