Um... You guys are all missing the point. The rental program for the batteries isn't about insurance, it's about lowering the initial cost of the car. GM realizes that most of its customers won't be willing to put down $90k for an car (as in the tesla roadster). Instead of that you pay $30-$40k for the car and rent the battery. It's actually a really practical concept because the money you will be saving on gas should end up paying for the rent fees on the batteries.
"What's the best gaming laptop for under 1,500 bucks? I had my eye on the P7805u (Gateway), but it seems Best Buy has run out for the time being. Also, as a secondary question, I like the specs on brands such as iBUYPOWER and CyberPower and the like, but are they reliable? I'm a little worried about buying labels that aren't huge like Dell, Gateway, etc. Thanks!"
