MacBook Air - Wanchai / CWB ?

[HowardCoombs]

$700 is very pricey, I buy mine from Shenzhen (and yes its the original ones, not the OEM 3rd party ones), for far, far less.

I'm sure you do/did but then you have to factor in not only your travel time (3-4 hours) and then opening up your mac and replacing it.

If I had lots of time on my hands, sure I'd do it too but when 298 is just 5 mins away from my office....

Not sure if I have read this right .. more than $700 for sure.

Model	Cost
11-inch, 13-inch and 15-inch	HK$ 988
17-inch	HK$ 1,388
MacBook Pro (Retina)	HK$ 1,588

For most models its 988, the retina models the battery is attached to the top case/keyboard, so it needs to be entirely changed which is why it costs more.

Quick update .. I did get an appointment for Sunday @ the apple store in CWB.

The cost worked out to $988 for the battery replacement.

As usual, quick service ..

the most dangerous component in the MacBook is the battery

for safety, I would prefer the original Apple battery
