Expanding batteries.

[DarkDTSHD]

Does any one know if Apple has gotten rid of all defective batteries? If all MBP's purchased from May 2007 on will not have a bad battery? I'm considering my first MBP. Just concerned with the battery issue. Would like to avoid the hassle of having to being the laptop/battery to an Apple Store to replace the battery.

Thanks.

PS. Prefer to hear from Canadian owners. But any one is welcome.

"no new ones" purchased after what date? As I said...I read on the Apple.com site that there were some defective batteries on laptops purchased between Feb 2006 and April 2007.

As much as its a pain to get it replaced, is it really worth not buying a computer over (if you need a new computer)? They're not going to argue about replacing the battery if you have that problem.

It wouldn't be a deal breaker but it is something I'm concerned about. Avoiding the hassle.
