I see the first part I suppose, but the second...really? The solution to that problem isn't better battery life, it's a better power cord.

- gommm 17y agoThe second part is a bit tongue in cheek :-) But yeah, I wish Apple didn't make those power cords...
- qjz 17y agoDo you have kids? I can't tell you how many times I've come across a drained laptop in my house sitting right next to a disconnected power supply. That happens with any brand of laptop, but after switching my kids to Macbooks, that MagSafe connector is worth an extra $100 to me, because I don't have to worry about a destroyed power supply cable, broken motherboard connector or smashed laptop when someone inevitably trips on the power cable.
- gommm 17y agoAh, having kids does probably justify the MagSafe connector...

- cema 17y agoA second battery is a solution to a different problem. In most laptops, you cannot just switch batteries without turning it off first, which is likely to disrupt work.
- mhb 17y agoUnless you're filming a day-long movie in one take using your laptop, why does it matter if you disrupt your work for 5 minutes? During an all day work marathon, I reckon you could use that time profitably.
