[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1019184, member: 24098"] None of the current MacBook models have a removable battery. You would have to look for a used (late 2008) MacBook Pro. Additionally, the matte display is an add-on option and might be tough to find as it's limited to the newer 15" and 17" models. All Mac notebooks (and most Windows notebooks) come with a power adapter that charges and powers the machine simultaneously. In my opinion, the Mac notebooks run pretty cool providing you're not doing anything taxing (i.e. the standard browsing, word processing, email reading type of work). It's only when you start playing games or running heavy-hitter apps that you'll start to feel the heat. Of course, the same goes for most common Windows notebooks. I wouldn't get stuck on the "Centrino" brand. It's really just a marketing tactic that means the machine has a certain chipset coupled with a certain processor line and wireless card. Used lightly, you'll get the same cool use and long power life (in fact, the MacBooks with fixed batteries are rated for 8 hours of continuous operation between charges). [/QUOTE]
