Yeah, if I can get six hours, do I really need the nine? I mean, really. Also, the new MPBs do not have removable batteries. This bugs me. That's a very failable component. The ability to replace the battery saves you mucho repair costs if it goes. In my opinion, laptops should be extremely modular with the major pieces being swapable just by unlocking at removing the piece. Hard drives, dvd drives, memory and keyboard should be easily replaceable because they're the moving parts that fail. I'd even pay more just for this capability. Too bad the only system that fits this description is a student project over at MIT.
