It's not like you can't still buy PCs that are upgradable. I don't think it's unreasonable for extremely thin and light computers to be difficult or impossible

It's not like you can't still buy PCs that are upgradable. I don't think it's unreasonable for extremely thin and light computers to be difficult or impossible to service.
- tracker1 9y agoAll electronic devices designed to operate via battery should be able to have them replaced by a typical owner. If that requires a spudger or standard screwdriver, so be it, but it should be able to be done by most users.
- rhinoceraptor 9y agoI don't think the typical user is willing to even do trivial things like replace the RAM in a desktop PC. I could replace the oil in my car, I'm positive I could figure it out. But I would much rather forgo the money I would save doing so and have it done by an auto shop.
- tracker1 9y agoI do think that most users might be willing to replace a battery every couple of years. Maybe not, we've become a throwaway culture mostly. That doesn't mean it shouldn't be an option or possible.
