So, Virgin have banned the use of Apple laptops with batteries in place. This now makes my years of miles building with them worthless because until this is resolved I won’t be flying with them again.
Who’s fault is this? Well, to be honest I blame Apple. They clearly knew about this problem a fair while back but chose to do the normal ‘deny it’s an issue’ until the public evidence became overwhelming. They also still have a flagship portable machine in the form of the intel Macbook Pro that DOES NOT have an ‘eMpower’ adapter for in-plane power available. So, now you can’t use your machine with a battery installed nor can you use it plugged in either. Some flagship business machine that huh?
And I used to be such an Apple fan-boy…
