Does this sound crazy?

I'm stoked about the new macbook pros and I'm going to get one. Definitely. If I can wait a year, though, and maybe there's a price drop, and maybe there's kabylake, and maybe the kinks get worked out, and maybe there will be enough information to decide between the touchbar vs. non-touchbar models - that would be great.

This battery is driving me crazy though. Any recommendations on 3rd party batteries? Where to find? What to look for?

The form-factor of this computer is identical to the 2012 non-retina macbook that they just stopped selling - is that the same battery that my computer can use?

In other words: I don't know whether I have to look specifically for a 2008-compatible battery.

Thanks in advance.
