If it is an Apple laptop, and you bought AppleCare, if it breaks you get it fixed or you get a new one. Getting it fixed in most cases is showing up at an Apple Store and waiting around for 30 minutes. Usually if they can't fix it on the spot they'll image your hard drive to a replacement system. I agree on the expansion argument though. Laptops are über proprietary. I technically void my warranty every day by using a third-party battery charger. But I went third-party because Apple doesn't have an external charger available for the MacBook at any price. How the hell am I supposed to use my computer disconnected from AC if I can't be charging one battery while using another? This issue is what keeps me from purchasing the otherwise super-sweet MacBook Air: http://www.apple.com/macbookair/ The battery is locked tight inside the chassis. Until batteries last 12 hours per charge, and can charge in 3 hours, I won't purchase any such system as that.
