Would you buy a notebook with a battery you wouldn't replace?

For years now, I haven't traveled with a spare battery. As battery times are extended, the need for spares decrease.

Apple appears to have squeezed a ton of run-time out of this new configuration. If this gets you from New York to San Francisco while being able to watch 2 feature films, are you good?

I've got the extended battery in my thinkpad, but it's the only one.

I try not to use my laptop on the plane; - and anywhere else - I'm usually in range of a desk / powerpoint.
