If you ever buy a mac laptop, make sure to spend a little extra and get Applecare. It basically is insurance for you laptop. Have had several company laptops replaced that were abused.

Today when I woke up my closed laptop was open about 1/8 of an inch. Seems the battery is not shielded and is swelling. The unshielded battery in the newer laptop lets them make the laptop thinner. However, they glue the battery to the frame of the laptop. Since the battery is evidently defective and swelling, not only does the battery have to be replaced, but also the laptop fram, keyboard, and trackpad. YIKES!! If i didn't have Applecare it would cost me $500.
