    Hi,

    I received my macbook(black) couple of days ago and I could not have been happier. One of the best decisions I have made. I am having so much fun learning all the new ropes of a Mac.

    I do have a question, it seems that the battery icon is stuck at "finishing charge"? going from 99% to 100%, is this normal? or does it take a long time to finish charge.

    Thanks!!

    Yeah... it does take a while for it to go from 99 --> 100% because it has to calculate the charge I guess. I always experience the same thing.

    If you have time, you should calibrate the battery.
