Has anybody had any experience with the HyperMac? It claims to keep your mac running for up to 17 hours... Thinking about this for an international flight...

these are good, I had the smaller one for my macbook and macbook pro. It added about four hours, the bigger ones, i don't think ANY take you to 17 EXTRA hours, but 17 combinged with a new version mbp or mba might be true. They are $$$ though, I have NEVER found a deal, and would like to buy a mid range run, but sub 250$ range.

Alright, thanks for the info. I have a trip to London in March, and was only able to upgrade to C on the way to LHR... Although I will still be in E+ on the way back, this will be a great thing to have so I can enjoy my laptop for the eight hour flight..
Just to clarify, you said you had the smaller HyperMac.. Was it the 60watt or the 100watt?

I had the 60w, so about the same as the internal battery. It basically will double your power, I got about 7 hours combined, wifi and or other. Running a DVD I got about 8-9 hours total.
