Well if you happen to have a apple store nearby I'm pretty sure that they can and will replace the battery. However I'm not sure about the rest of you but I have no problem receiving a refurbished product. Often a refurbished one is better than original as any known issues with the original have been fixed (ex. a bad run of a certain chip or some other component it would be replaced) and they generally have a warranty on them. If I brought my iphone in for a battery replacement after 11 months and the it has all kinds of scratches all over it and I get a new one that I simply have to plug into my computer and all my if will be on it in 5 minutes I have no problem with that. In my experience Apple has stood behind there products much the same as Castle stands behind there's. I had a set of earphones that started sounding crackly, brought them in and they gave me a new set. After 10-11 months and many drops to the ground my original iphone's ear speaker wasn't loud enough for me to hear on anymore, brought it into the store and walked out 10 minutes later with a brand new one. I still say I didn't have any problems with my apple products because they where immediately taken care of free of charge. The battery on the matchbooks is replaceable, they sell them right in the store, sure they aren't as easy to replace as on other laptops but for something that doesn't have to be done very often it's not a big deal to have to take out a few screws.

I have had my Macbook pro for just over a week now, no complaints. Yes there are somethings I have to figure out as there are differences between a Mac and a PC but it's not hard to figure them out and if you can't then call apple and they will tell you!
