[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1073890, member: 56379"] Just my humble opinion: - buy a new battery! - a 2006 15" MacBook Pro is absolutely NOT a BRICK!!! It weighs 5.6 pounds...EXACTLY the same as a current 2010 15" MacBook Pro. Back in the 1990's a 12" display laptop generally weighed in the 7+ pound range...that's closer to a brick! - you said that you like the matte/anti-glare display on your MacBook Pro. With the current laptops...you do have a choice of a matte or glossy display (matte/anti-glare display costs $150 more)...but...this option is ONLY available on the 15" & 17" models. So if you want a 13"...you're stuck with a glossy display. - A new 13" MacBook/MacBook Pro is going to cost around $1000...compared to a new Apple battery for $129. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
