Asian sources for the 9to5Mac site have informed the company that Apple may announce a 17 inch screen Macbook Pro this year at Macworld that would be manufactured using the new unibody design. Although this in and of itself isn’t all that interesting, the sources are also stating that the battery in these devices may not be removable. It’s almost as if Apple hasn’t learned anything from the iPhone battery outcries. Although 9to5Mac states Apple may be using some new silver zinc battery technology to make up for this, I still think people will be mad unless these batteries are extremely powerful and long lasting.

When it comes down to it, I still think Apple should include removable batteries no matter what. It isn’t that much of a strain on design, and it is very well appreciated. Batteries can be tricky and lose power capacity in a short amount of time if not used right. It would be a lot easier to simply buy another battery than having to send in your whole laptop for Apple to replace them. What are your thoughts?
