Hey guys this is a question for you all that know more about computers than I do. Which would be many haha.
I use a MacBook Pro 13''. I got it in January of 2011 so I'm not sure if it's the 2010 or 2011 version. Anyways, my battery is running low. It says "Replace Soon," but it's been there for about a year. So I have two questions.
1) Can I wait to replace it till it says "Replace Now" or is it better to do it soon. It holds a decent charge, maybe about an hour without being charged. I'm cool with that but at the same time, I don't want it to mess up the computer. If it needs to be done, I would rather do it sooner than later.
2) Where do I go to get this done? Do I have to take it to the Apple store? How much would a service like this cost me? Could I just do it on my own? I have found some websites online about MacBook replacement batteries but the costs are so different ($20-$100) that I don't know what's legit anymore.
I found this website might be my best bet. What do you think about it?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This is my first Apple computer and I really like it, but I'm clueless about it.
