A single charge will get you 8 hours of work if using the NVIDIA 9400 GPU or 7 hours if using the 9600 GT. And you can charge you battery for 1,000 times. After that you can replace it. Simply go to Apple and order a replacement. The new battery will cost you just $179 and the whole operation will be performed by Apple employees. Simply go into an Apple Store or ship the MacBook to Apple. Either way you will be taken care of!

While I write this post the Macworld is under way at Moscone West. After introducing some of Apple’s new software solutions for 2009 the last product was finally launched. And it’s not the Mac Mini we’ve been talking about but it’s the brand new 17 inch MacBook Pro.

It has the same great aluminum design and it will feature a 17 inch 1920 x 1200 display, 700:1 contrast ratio, 60% greater color gamut. The backlit display has also a $50 anti-glare option available. As for ports we have the usual DisplayPort, USB, FireWire 800 and we’re also going to have a battery meter. Inside you will find a new generation Core 2 Duo Processor, support for 8GB of RAM and a new NVIDIA graphics card.

The battery is outstanding. It will get you 8 hours of juice as the battery has been redesigned to meet your power needs. It’s bigger but it’s not removable. Who cares about that anyway. Having a 17 inch MacBook Pro able to run for 8 whole hours is already a great thing.

All that costs $2,799. Is it worth it I ask you? It probably is. Check out the picture above for a full specs rundown.
