>> Do you seriously believe that? Come on!
My point is that batteries are low tech compared to all the other components in the computer and hence shouldn't have had that problem. What happened to the supplier of batteries going in the current/outgoing Powerbooks? How different are the MBP and PB that a battery problem occurred with the MBP and was not prevalent in the PB?<<

Orion -

Um, yes. I do believe that. First of all, the batteries in the MBP are lithium polymer, not lithium ion. So yes, they're different. Secondly, there is circuitry in the batteries themselves that monitors the charge levels. So it's not like a duracell you pick up at the 7/11. Obviously, something was wrong with that circuitry in these batteries.

Must you be so relentlessly negative and suspicious?
