This morning I went to my local apple store to get an exchange of the macbook pro 13 I had yesterday cos it was a defective item..so they gave me a "new one". I downloaded coconutbattery, it tells me it's 6 weeks old and it's already had 4 cycles. I'm running calibration right now. Should I worry about it? 4 cycles....or am I just being too uptight about it? Can apple replace it free since it's had 4 cycle? Or can I run a reinstallation of OSX CD? LOL.
Got a tip for us?

I wouldn't accept a new battery that already had 4 cycles on it. However, it's not a big deal when compared to the number of cycles a battery is good for. Reinstalling Mac OS X won't accomplish anything related to the battery.

It's okay, and the age is due to the machine being produced some time ago, shipped to your country and stored in some places and then brought to the store you bought it from, which might have stored it too.
Btw, MRoogle will give you one or two dozen hundred of threads about this "cycle and age" issue.

So basically I shouldn't worry too much about it?
Oh and I have another concern:

What is that? What do I do to get rid of that? Or nothing to be too concern about?
