FastMac- new extended life battery for 17-inch MacBook Pro
FastMac has announced the availability of an extended life battery for the 17-inch MacBook Pro. The $100 battery uses Lithium-Polymer technology to offer 71 wH of power in a standard sized battery for the big MBP. The new battery uses FastMac’s TruePower technology to provide safe extended battery life for the big Kahuna. No word on how much extra battery life this new battery provides in the real world but it’s certainly priced well enough to give it a try, if I ever get my precious MBP back from Apple.

You have to remove the comment “it just works” from your description of the Macbook Pro under JK’s gear. The truth is the OS X just works. Their hardware is as crappy as the next. I’ve replaced batteries, and keyboards on my Motion and power supplies on my Mac. I’ve seen friends HDs dive on their Macs and their screens go kaput. So Macs unfortunately don’t just work but I do think SSDs will help to stabilize all personal computers. Macs power issues are another deal all together.
