Assuming your computer has a replaceable battery, which is not the case always. Replacing a $80 battery is worth it to avoid stress, but replacing a $2000 ultrabook may not be.
- TheGRS 12y agoI would think your ultrabook would be past its manufacturer's warranty anyway at that point anyway and would be a candidate for some sort of DIY battery replacement.
- cmavr8 12y agoIsn't battery warranties usually 1-year long? A device would have minimum 2-year warranty in Europe so you can find yourself in the middle...
- mikeash 12y agoEven if it's not made to be user-replaceable, surely it can be replaced by someone with the right skills and tools for much less than the full replacement cost of the entire device.
- arrrg 12y agoApple charges something like $120 for changing the battery out. Not worth the stress to micromanage that, really not. It’s never about $2000.
