If your MacBook or MacBook Pro doesn't have that same charge that it used to, Apple has a solution to the problem.

Battery issues

17" Macbook pro battery warped. Last time I moved the laptop was about 15 days ago. I use it as a normal computer and when I did it warped. They only fixed it because I had the apple protection plan. Nonsense if you ask me, but they shipped it overnight which is the plus. You of course need to ship it back or they charge your credit card about 200 for a battery replacement. I made sure I sent that bad boy back the same day. DHL scheduled a pickup and it was easy.

In the long run I was happy with Apples response but I think if you spend a lot of $$ on their product they should guarantee the batteries if they have had a recall on the 15"

My 2cents.

Apple

As much as I love Apple and their products.. Within the last couple of years I've noticed a growing number of faults (all be it somewhat minor in comparison to others) developing with Macs, both soft and hardware. Is this something to do with a stepped up production rate or cost cutting or anything? I'm still clinging to the hope they're just minor accidents. I need reassurance the quality isn't dropping :)

Apple quality issues?

Maybe our expectations are set too high, but I, too, feel that I am
experiencing more and more problems. I own 6 Mac computers (2
G4 12 Powerbooks, G4 15 Powerbook, Intel 20" iMac, Intel core duo
Mini, and a G5 tower), 5 iPods (60G photo, 60G and 80G Video, 4
G Nano and 8G Nano), an appleTV and an Airport Extreme and
every single one has had software and or hardware issues on a
regular basis in the last twelve months. My Dell and Sony laptops
have been even worse so I don't complain about the Apple products
too much, but I am worried that quality is getting worse.
