sigmaris Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Now that the 17" Macbook Pro has gotten a redesign and the fancy new battery, does anyone know if the 15" MBP will be getting a similar battery upgrade anytime soon? I'm thinking of getting a Macbook Pro, but can't really justify the price of the 17" to myself. I'd love something with the portability of the 15" model but the battery life of the 17". Anyone know if this is likely? And if it is, how long will I have to wait?

Bimmer Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I just got the New 15" MacBookPro, I'm getting 4hrs of battery life out of it, why would you need more??? This is the longest lasting battery out of all the laptops I've owned, (this is my 5th). Yeah, a longer lasting one would be great, but I have no problems with the one it comes with!!!!

Berzerker Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 The point Apple made with the 17" Unibody was that since they made it non-removeable, it allowed for more space for the battery, so they could make it bigger. If they keep the 15" MBP battery removable, then they will need to keep the batteries the same and it wouldn't be any bigger/have anymore battery life than it has not. They will probably do this as to give customers incentive to go for the 17" as opposed to the 15".
