How long will it last before i need to replace my air

I want a macbook pro or air but im consired i will get one and it will last a few years and then i will have to replace the battery an thats going to cost me more mommy.

Apple used to have replaceable batteries and I generally needed to replace them after 18-20 months at a cost of about $100. My unibody MacBookPro is 3 years old and the original battery still has nearly 90% of its original capacity. Apple's claim of these batteries having 3-4 times the lifespan of the older batteries seems to be holding true, at least for me.
The new batteries aren't user replaceable, geek speak for you'll void the warranty if you do it yourself. But based on my experience even AppleCare will expire before the battery needs replacing and the replacement is a simple job. These batteries are running in the $120-$140 depending on your source.

  • How Long Will Arch last?

    Hi, my question here is not to ridicule (or otherwise designed to offend anyone) but one of concern. Many distributions have a viable economic model which helps ensure that the distro can survive (Fedora is one prime example). The fact that Fedora has the backing of Red Hat means that it is almost always asured funding. Ubuntu is also moving in this general direction (although their model does not seem as reliable as Red Hat's yet.) What gurrantee do we have that Arch can last for many decades to come? The Arch devs are real people with real jobs. As far as I know they do not actually get and money from Arch Linux. What sustains Arch ( pays for servers etc.) Is it simply donations? Can Arch survive soley off of donations?
    What are your thoughts and ideas do you have on how to make Arch a self sustaining distro while also keeping it free? Finally if Arch falls apart what would you do?
    THIS IS HYPOTHETICAL THIS IN NO MEANS IMPLIES THAT ARCH IS GOING UNDER ANY TIME SOON!
    ( I would also like to take this time to conragulate the Arch devs for coming this far and thank them for all their work it is much appreciated.)

    Read the FAQ (Introduction page) for more info about Unununium:
    http://unununium.org/introduction
    Something interesting:
    On what platforms does Unununium run?
    The latest plan is to implement Unununium as a Linux userspace process. Linux is a stable, available, well documented program which eliminates most of the mundane, uncreative aspects of usual OS development such as writing hardware drivers. It also provides an easy mode of execution, with a developed debugger such as gdb, and fast boot times, since there is no need for a full hardware reboot. This makes development much easier.
    Running on Linux has disadvantages as well. Probably most significantly, some things are slower. For a slower speed in execution, we get a faster speed in development. Some day it would be nice to reduce overhead, but that's something that will wait until there is something running.
    For some reason or another, this choice of platform leads people to question if Unununium can really be an OS. Of course, it really depends on how "OS" is defined. Unununium is an environment and a design common to all programs which depend on it, and in this sense might be considered an OS.

  • Liquid spill, over a year later computer works... how long will it last?

    My boyfriend spilled Mt. Dew on my first gen Macbook a little over a year ago.
    We took it to PeachMac and they said it would be around $500 to repair the logic board.
    Since the computer would still come on I decided to look around for any other possible fixes.
    My hard drive was corrupt so I erased it and reinstalled OS X Snow Leopard.
    It's working just like new (and I cleaned the gunk from under the keys).
    It kinda stinks though, this computer was in a closet for over a year and a simple erase/install was all it needed.
    I just wanted to know if this fix will last, or will the spill catch up to the computer relatively soon?

    Hi,
    That's a tough call. But if you're doing the basics, and you aren't frustrated by its current performance, you can expect to keep the PowerBook working for the life of a new battery (maybe 1-2 years), so in my opinion it's worth it. This is in comparison to the cost of buying a new Mac, and they're far from cheap.
    If you specifically want to know about the life of the hardware, your system will likely be problem-free with the hard drive being the most likely part to fail (replacement cost ~$100 plus installation). If you leave the laptop on a desk, it's less likely to have hardware problems than if you tote it around. If you carry it, it will probably develop cosmetic case dings.
    Your display should be fine; I replaced the display in my PowerBook with an even older one, and it's still fine. RAM rarely fails.

  • How long does it last

    I have a 2008 Mac Pro that i bought when it came out and it is still in perfect condition. It has 8 cores, 8gb ram, 8800gt video card 3tb hd. at the end of this year it will be three years old. I use it for final cut pro and other things. about how long will it last
    -it is in perfect condition
    -has a very stable power supply
    -never had one problem yet
    -still edits blue ray video stable
    should i upgrade this year or next
    thanks

    I am still answering queries about Macs discontinued before the turn of the century. The Hardware will last a good long time. You may have to replace a memory module ( FBDIMMs run Hot) or a Hard drive along the way.
    The software you are running today will do the jobs you do today, using your current workflow, for decades.
    Whether your needs will expand beyond the capabilities of that particular computer remains to be seen. And whether new "must have" killer Apps will come along and make your Mac seem slow, or lacking in some other way, no one knows for sure.
    \[But that is what happened to most pre-1999 Macs. You can't give them away. Folks don't want them because they can't run the latest Web Browsers or play YouTube Videos].

  • How many years will an ipod touch's battery last before it needs replaced?

    How long will the battery last?

    It depends upon how much you use it. Apple says the battery should withstand 400 full charge/discharge cycles and still maintain 80% of original capacity.
    The worse you can do is let the battery full discharge and leave it and to always leave it connected to a charger. Apple recommends almost fully discharging and fully charging monthly.

    How long will the progress indicator spin before safe mode progress bar shows up?

    Not a good sign,  your HD is failing or has serious block problems. It might be possible to reformate the drive and start over.
    or something more agressive to do the repair, like Disk Warrior http://www.alsoft.com/diskwarrior/
    You need a backup plan in place here.

    how long will quicktime pro movie record?
    That depends. How much free space do you have available on a single drive? Which compression format do you plan to use? How fast is your CPU. Barring the unexpected, QT 7 Pro will record until it runs out of scratch space. Frame rates are dependent on your CPU power which means newer, more powerful platforms record more frames per second and thus tend to have higher data rates up to the max standard for the system. Lastly, the compression format/device type/device capture size/graphic complexity combination also determines the average data rate. So, as long as the average data rate times the duration of the clip is less than the amount of free space available on your hard drive, you can record continuously.
    i would like to record a 10+min onscreen movie clip.
    If by "oncscreen" movie you are referring to a "screen capture" of a movie, the QT 7 Pro will not do this. You either need to use a third-party screen capture application or upgrade to Snow Leopard for QT X "screen capture" capabilities.

  • I dropped my iphone 5 in the toilet about 3 hours ago, I've had it in a bag of rice since. I tried turning it on, but nothing. How long should I wait before i go get a new phone?

    I dropped my iphone 5 in the toilet about 3 hours ago, I've had it in a bag of rice since. I tried turning it on, but nothing. How long should I wait before i go get a new phone?

    If water drained out of your phone when you pulled it out of the toilet it is most likelyh dead.  Stop trying to turn it on or plugging it in.  You really need to put it in a bag of rice for 3-4 days and just leave it alone.  It will take that long to get it totally dry to see if it is going to come back to life.
    Good luck, but since you tried to turn it on, and plugged it in while it was probably still wet inside I would not count on it surviving.

  • How long will SAPRSEUJ run?

    Hi Guys,
    Does anybody experience about this report? (EU_INIT batch job)
    Can somebody explain how long will it run after a system installation?
    (Other question: do we really need to run it after an installation?)
    Thank you in advance
    Balazs

    Hi Balazs,
    see SAP Note 28022: "The report has a very long runtime and can run up to 100 hours (5 days)".
    You can control the progress by SM37 job log which displays a line after every 1000 objects (more than 200.000 in total) and by SM50 process details (number of RFC calls in the bottom lines of the details)
    I experienced that this job is very slow on VIRTUAL machines (Hyper-V host and machines with Microsoft Windows 2008 RTM as well as Microsoft Windows 2008 R2). Furthermore, when running very slow, this job often slows down all other system activities. As a workaround I scheduled a daily job EU_INIT starting in the evening, and every day in the morning I kill the job process in TA SM50 so that our developers can proceed with their work. This procedure lasts some weeks ...
    Also pay attention to the different programs that are run by different EU_INIT-Jobs:
    SAPRSEUB for SAP Basis objects
    SAPRSEUC for Customer objects
    SAPRSEUI for Incremental changes
    SAPRSEUT for objects changed after Transports
    Regards

  • Exactly how long did it take before YOUR headphones went out?

    This being my second iPod and knowing many a people who have owned iPods I knew when I bought the new 5th gen that the headphones would probable only last me a month. They lasted a week. Ok I went back to the Apple store and had them exchanged them. These have lasted me a surprising long time. 3 weeks.
    My question, like the famous tootsie roll comercial, how long did it take before your headphones went out? ANd how many times can you have them exchanged?
    Mac OS X (10.3.6)
      Mac OS X (10.3.6)  

    I've been using 2G on and off for 3 years and just handed mine to my son. He wanted the cool iPod look with his non-iPod. I just opened my 2G Mini head phones a month ago. I havent opened my 5G yet. The newer ones seems a little bit cheaper made.
    It all depends on how you treat it. I fall asleep with them on and still havent destroyed 2g Mini's. Too bad mine doesn't die so I can replace them with something better.
    When buying new phones, check the user reviews, I know Koss notoriously go bad. Senheiser seems good.
