Rating: - Lasts about 1 Hour
I've had several of these now and all have performed very poorly despite following all recommendations about cycling. Out of the box they've lasted about 2.5 hours and quickly degrade to about an hour. Sadly the alternatives aren't much better (I've tried third party batteries too).

Rating: - Replacement Battery
The battery works great. It arrived when it was supposed to. I am very happy.

Rating: - Computers are, well... expensive
Works like it should. The fact is, the longevity of these batteries is too short and that stinks. But, there are no alternatives.

Rating: - Preserve your battery
Inevitably, soon or later, you will need to replace your battery... however, you could the following tips to extend the lifespan of your battery:
1) Remove the battery when using it at work for hours
2) Connect as often as possible rather than emptying your battery too often
3) Let it run unplugged once a month until the battery is empty and then recharge it fully.
Good luck,
JP

Rating: - Good Replacement!
my old, 1 year old, battery gave me hour and a half of life at best, (twas wose in vista)
this new one gives me roughly 4 hours total on a full charge! thats awesome, plus, when i check coconutBattery, it shows that this battery has 6461mAh, which is larger than apple's stock 5500mAh battery,

great price, great product

glad it only has one cycle, i just need to figure out how to keep cycles low! (last one had 380 after one year..)
