That's a lot of work. Shame on those manufacturers for making their products so difficult to dissect. I agree with the sentiment of 'keeping alternatives', but given how much we use our laptops, I'm willing to pay an extra $500 for a 'known quantity' (the high end laptops by those mfgs. are generally expensive, i.e. maybe $500 cheaper than Macs, if that). Thanks for doing this, I'm going to stick with my Mac. Happy to consider alternatives as they come about.
