Yup. Listening to a live audio feed now and following the blogs.



Its confirmed. The battery is non-removable. But with an 8 hour battery charge life!

    I wonder what real world times are going to be. If they can actually deliver 8 hours with moderate use, then it could mean working all day without having to bring a charger. If it's anything like my old Macbook Pro (which claimed 5 hours but rarely saw above 3), then I don't see the point.

    Man, that non-removable battery surprises me. I had two batteries re-called on my PowerBook... not that big of a deal with the "normal" battery, but I'd have been a bit less pleased had I needed to send the whole computer in to get it replaced.

    Hopefully they've got a reliable vendor for these new batteries!



    8 hrs advertised = 4 hrs real-world would still make for a best-on-the-market battery life.
