One problem I have with my current TiBook is that more than once I've accidentally disconnected the battery by simply brushing up against the battery latch the wrong way. This is especially disturbing in the computer is sleeping rather than powered down.



Does anyone know if the AlBooks have a better battery latch design than the TiBook?

    I'm not sure but I seem to recall a big screw-like thing to turn (you can turn it with a coin or your fingernail if you're not in the habit of trimming), just like on the iBook. Kinda ruins quick battery swapping, but at least you can't accidentally pop the battery out.



    EDIT: I am pretty sure that was the case with the 12" model. Not sure about the 17". I do know, however, that after buying one, you won't have many coins left over to turn the battery latch with
