[QUOTE="MacDude121, post: 1666927, member: 173432"] I would say 3 years is "getting up there", especially for a portable with a battery issue. Overall no, Macs do tend to last for years, decades even, but batteries don't. If the battery wasn't swollen, it still wouldn't have much life left anyway. I purchased a new off-brand battery for my Black Macbook about 2-3 years ago for $15 and never had a problem with it, up until the computer kicked the bucket due to an unrelated issue. [/QUOTE]
