When the unibody Macbook Pros came out, I remember hearing people make a big deal about the non user-serviceable battery, or whatever. But I was using an early 2009 15" model, and I noticed that the battery was quite easy to remove- just push a button on the bottom, pop out a panel, and there it is- not screwed in or anything. Seems removable enough to me- am I missing something? I mean, seems like it would be covered by warranty since replacing the hard drive is more difficult (it's screwed in), and from all I've heard that's covered.
Got a tip for us?

"non removable" Battery

Your MBP isn't one of those with a non removable battery. Because they even have a latch to remove it.
The non removable models have no such thing. You need to take the casing apart to remove the battery.

The mid-09 has a "non-removeable" battery--at least not from the outside. You can replace it, but you have to open the case to get at it.
Ah, my apologies for the confusion. For some reason I thought the unibody and non-removable battery went hand-in-hand.
