I always had the opinion that I would never buy a computer that wasn't able to be serviced by me and I would build my own desktops and buy Thinkpads. Then I realized that I never did any upgrades anyway, if the battery died, the laptop was usually ready to be replaced. If the CPU or memory needed to be upgraded, usually it was both, and there was probably a new technology (new socket, new type of DDR, etc). And I realized I hated dealing with my desktop, hated troubleshooting and fixing and buying replacement parts and stuffing it all together and scraping my knuckles on the case... As soon as I realized this, I said "to hell with it" and bought a Macbook. I don't need the downsides to having a serviceable laptop if I never actually perform any service on it.
