    So far so good

    Only limited use so far, excellent performance, more capacity than design capacity.

    I would recommend this product to a friend!

    Worked ok, but ballooned after two years

    Ballooned up after 2 years and cracked the trackpad. Would expect a battery to last longer, as OEM batteries have lasted much longer without this issue.
