Notice from HyperMac.com by: Anonymous on 9/3/2009
We at HyperMac wish to state for the record that HyperMac bears no affiliation to Mikegyver.com
Neither does Mikegyver.com sell any HyperMac product or any product covered in this review.
It is regretable that Mikegyver.com chooses to use unsolicited spam as their main form of marketing.
By placing advertisements in comments with words very similar to the HyperMac marketing copy, it is clear that Mikegyver.com sole intention is to misled readers and create confusion amongst consumers.
Mikegyver.com advertisement/spam/comments are found in no less than five (5) HyperMac related reviews.
We have complained to the site owner and this is notice will be in place until the offending post is removed.
I believe I said that by: Sean Kalinich on 8/20/2009
I covered that it is valuable to a small number of people and also mention that it is a great product.

The issue that I had is that its market foot print is narrowed even more by being for Mac only.

But if you own a Mac and need the extra power it is a great product.
Good price for what it is by: Anonymous on 8/19/2009
Batteries aren't cheap, and a battery so large therefore must be pretty expensive. The price must also factor in how many people will be interested, and that's not so many, as most are sated with the built-in battery (I believe that figure is 95% of purchasers), so you're looking at a market of 5% of purchasers (say, 50,000 people a year), of whom maybe 5% need a 20 hour additional battery, and then there is competition from other battery makers.

They're probably looking at selling 100 - 500 of these! Hence the additional cost, as the one-off costs are disproportionately high in small production runs.

The good thing about the review is that it brings awareness of external batteries, and that having fixed internal batteries isn't an issue.
