Where do u draw the line between buying another say laptop vs. buying a replacement battery?
The issue is retail vs. what you can find on the internet. A new battery can be found much cheaper than retail. A new glass top can be had from a parts wholesaler for far cheaper than $500.

Look around. That is what search engines are for...
