This is ironic because to day I read that the batteries should be left to uncharge atleast once a month.
and I usually kept it plugged in so I tried this today and my computer randomly Shut off when i was in like more than halfway battery like and I'd try to start it back up with no power source and it wouldnt, it only would with power source so I guess the batteries are faulty

but I'm dissapointed with the macbookpro's they have soo many problems

Not all of them have problems. Mine's perfect. I've had it for 4-5 months.

Ya not really. The only problems i've heard of are the whine which can be fixed by Apple and the heat issues which have been resolved.

i qualify, but my battery seems to be ok.

think it would be a big deal if I didn't send it back as requested (for recycling)? I would be nice to have a spare just in case...
